Torrey Stella Barnhill

Executive Director

Torrey knew from a young age that she wanted to help families tap into resources that could help them overcome challenges. From working with at-risk kids, managing events for L’ete Du Vin and The Heritage Foundation, to her current role as the Executive Director of Friends of Franklin Parks, she has dedicated her life to making her community a better place. Torrey was raised in small-town Humboldt, Tennessee, and acquired a degree in social work from Middle Tennessee State University. She is an amazing leader in our community, mother, and wife, and in her spare time fosters dogs in need. She hopes to continue improving the quality of life for those in her community through her work with FOFP!
