Tori Bahtel

Tori joined the CrossPurpose team in 2026 as a Leader Program Coach with over 20 years of experience serving underrepresented and marginalized populations through victim advocacy, education, and community outreach. Her background includes supporting at-risk youth, teaching ESL to adult learners, and volunteering with anti-trafficking organizations, all grounded in connection, empowerment, and encouragement. Working in mission driven spaces has been a source of spiritual grounding for Tori, allowing her to live out her Christian faith through service, justice, and tangible support. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin and is a Duke-certified Health and Well-Being Coach with training in Trauma Informed Care and behavior change.

Outside of her professional life, Tori enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, biking and paddleboarding, as well as teaching yoga, fostering animals, and finding restoration through movement and nature.
