Whitney Daniel White ’08

Whitney Daniel White

Whitney cherished her 4 years at North Georgia, and loved most her roles as an INTRO leader, ambassador, president’s office employee, and ropes course instructor. She also received the honor of being named Miss North Georgia. Graduating in 2008 with a degree in psychology and leadership, she went on to get her master’s degree in counseling at Augusta University, where she also received the Most Outstanding Counselor Award.

From a young age, Whitney has had a deep love for people from all cultures and walks of life. This in combination with her heart for vulnerable children led her to pursue a career at Lifeline Children’s Services as an International Education Counselor. In this role she developed a passion for equipping God’s people to care for His children. Her work at Lifeline has included counseling, along with writing curriculum, trainings and conference development for international adoptive parents. Her most fulfilling professional accomplishment was to author a training for caregivers at children’s homes and orphanages in the international context. She was then able to implement this training in person all over the world, investing in those who are on the front lines of caring for orphaned and vulnerable children and witnessing the immediate effect that it had on the care that these precious children received. 

Most recently Whitney has helped with the establishment of a school in Athens, GA that her two children attend which practices a holistic philosophy of caring for the whole child. She has been quoted as saying “what it takes for a child from trauma to heal is what every child needs to thrive.” Her next endeavor involves continuing the journey of intentional living with her family, with the hope that she and her husband, Adam (2005), can merge their careers and work together. Their desire is to serve people, leaning on their experience as a counselor and a physician, and to provide comprehensive physical, emotional and spiritual care as a means of seeing individuals and families thrive.
