With over 40 years of experience in the arts, including a Bachelor’s degree in Art from Glenville State College of West Virginia in 2001, I have honed my craft with dedication and passion. As the former Art Director of the Craigsville Fall Festival Art Shows for seven years, I’ve demonstrated a keen eye for artistic expression and excellence. Additionally, my background includes a minor in psychology and licensure as an ordained minister, reflecting my commitment to serving and uplifting communities.

Driven by a profound belief in the power of compassion and assistance, I have dedicated myself to supporting recovery efforts and aiding the homeless in our area. Whether through my role as a youth minister and drama team leader at New Rising Church or my longstanding involvement with West Virginia youth since the age of 12, I am deeply committed to fostering positive change and empowerment.

Furthermore, my engagement with the West Virginia University Extension Services and extensive leadership roles within the 4-H community exemplify my dedication to mentorship and community development.

In essence, I believe that our purpose in life is to extend a helping hand to others, leaving a lasting impact that makes the world a better place. Through my artwork and community initiatives, I strive to embody this ethos and inspire others to join me in creating a brighter, more compassionate world.
