I am a seasoned project coordinator, serving as an event planner as well as performing administrative support and community outreach to build lasting partnerships for MURC and Marshall University. I have helped oversee community projects and events. One of these projects includes the Alliance for the Economic Development of Southern West Virginia and its annual Small Communities, BIG Solutions Conference, #WVSolutions Seekers Statewide Student Leadership Conference and The West Virginia Collegiate Recovery Network. Born and raised in West Virginia, I am committed to staying in the state and helping grow our workforce and strengthen our communities. I am a graduate of Marshall University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and am currently working on my master’s degree in Leadership Studies for Non-Profits and Public Agency.
