Meet Our Team
Kristina C. Robertson
Co-Founder | Executive Director
Kristina Robertson has a passion for making a positive difference in her community. With a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Texas Tech University, she taught kindergarten for four years with Fort Worth ISD. Kristina knew something was leaning her towards a new career path when Co-Founder and husband Joshua Robertson started a Hospice Focus DME company. This new adventure sparked a lot of conversation between the two. This resonated with Kristina, who had experienced personal loss with close family members and could relate to the care that is so important at the end of life. After a year of research and in 2011 receiving Project 4031 501(c)(3) status, Kristina took Project 4031 as her new career path. Their hope: to make a difference in the lives of terminally ill children and adults. Kristina feels honored to be a part of Project 4031, serving families during a critical and sensitive time in their lives and strengthening each patient’s end of life story. Kristina transitioned into the Executive Director position in 2019 and feels honored to lead the organization into the future.
She has been a part of it all since inception, experiencing growth and knowing the inner workings. Her passion is to serve patients, and her dedication to learning equips her to fit well into this new position.
Kristina has a passion for volunteering and giving back; she has been a part of Fort Worth Junior league since 2011, the All Aboard program through Junior League, Leadership Fort Worth, and volunteers at her children’s school. Josh and Kristina have three boys, and when not working at Project 4031, she spends quality time with her family and friends.
Nicole Herlin
Program Director
Nicole’s professional life has always been about working with and helping others. After graduating from TCU, Nicole made Fort Worth her home. In the early years of her career, Nicole taught high school, working with children and their families at Castleberry High School and Nolan Catholic High School in Fort Worth. After nine years of teaching, she left her teaching job to stay at home with her young children.
​
After many years of diapers, storytimes, and coordinating classroom parties, Nicole reentered the workforce in 2015 when she accepted the position as the Director of Religious Education at a local church. Her experience of working at the church allowed her the opportunity to serve people, young and old, from diverse backgrounds, in all the most beautiful and most challenging moments of their lives.
​
In 2021, Nicole felt the pull; God was calling her in a new direction. When she discovered Project 4031 and learned about its mission to walk with people and offer comfort for the end of life, she knew this was the new direction she was called to follow.
​
Nicole and her husband Houston have three children, all teenagers now, who fill their lives with activity, adventure and love. Nicole is thankful to have both a home life and a work life at Project 4031 that are filled with joy and purpose.

During her service, she traveled the world as an F-22 Crew Chief, developing strong leadership skills, discipline, and a deep commitment to service—always with the long-term goal of attending university to pursue her true passions.
​
A graduate of Texas Christian University with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, Jazmine brings together her academic foundation and military experience to support mission-driven work.

Lora Snyder
Volunteer Coordinator
Lora Snyder started as the Volunteer Coordinator in 2024 after volunteering with Project 4031. Lora moved to Texas from Missouri in 2022 after retiring. In a true leap of faith, she chose Ft. Worth because her former pastor lives here. She did not have a clear plan for what would come next, but she opened her heart to the direction God would choose for her. Raised with a strong sense of volunteerism instilled by her father who was a principal of a school for students with special needs, Lora explored different volunteer opportunities in her new hometown. A conversation with a Project 4031 board member at her church introduced her to the organization. Although end-of-life care was outside of her comfort zone, Lora does like to be a part of her community, investing her time and energy and seeing the impact her involvement can have, so she decided to volunteer with the Wings program.
At Project 4031 she felt the goodness of God as she worked alongside the other Wings volunteers. She saw the heart of the organization in action, the genuine care, kindness, love, and respect for others expressed through the work of the volunteers. When the position of Volunteer Coordinator opened, Lora sought God’s guidance and direction and accepted the job. She is honored and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the wonderful staff and volunteers of Project 4031.
