A WVU graduate with a background in advertising and a masters degree in Public Administration, I have worked in many fields including tourism and non profit advertising and public relations. As the Director of Education at the Allegany County Historical Society, I built an education program and wrote grants while making history fun for local students. Recently, I was an instructor and the Journalism and Communications Unit Coordinator at the WVU campus of Potomac State College where I renewed the journalism program, built a new computer lab and redesigned the college paper. In August I accepted the Internship Placement and Alumni Outreach Coordinator at BlueRidge Community and Technical College where I am building an internship program.
