Meet Dierrica Smith, CFRE, Corporate Relations Manager at UWTC!
Dierrica builds partnerships with local businesses, helping them achieve their corporate social responsibility goals while sharing how UWTC transforms lives across Tarrant County. Her role is all about connecting company leaders and employees with meaningful opportunities to make a difference.
United Way has always held a special place in Dierrica’s heart. Growing up, she watched her mom, a Frost Bank employee, actively support UWTC campaigns. Inspired by those experiences, Dierrica joined her mom as a volunteer for VITA, assisting families during tax season.
After graduating from Midwestern State University, Dierrica started her nonprofit journey with United Way in Wichita Falls before returning home to make a greater impact in Tarrant County. One of her proudest accomplishments is leading Emerging Leaders United, a program for young professionals committed to giving back and driving change.
Outside of work, Dierrica is an adventurer at heart! Her recent trip to Bali, where she fed elephants and indulged in world-class coffee, was unforgettable. When she’s not traveling, she loves spending quality time with her family.
