Evans, along with her father, Dave Panyola, introduced their initiative, Everlasting Rock Ministries, which combines their expertise in building and community development.

During her presentation, Evans highlighted her 50 years of experience in the construction industry and her military service in the Pennsylvania National Guard, where she served for 29 years. She discussed her roles in human resources and community coalition building, particularly in addressing drug-related issues across Pennsylvania. Her experience includes serving as the state demand reduction administrator for the Pennsylvania counter drug joint task force, where she worked to strengthen community coalitions.
