“

Having grown up in the Appalachian region, I have a great appreciation for the challenges as well as the potential that exists in our rural communities. These experiences have left an astounding impact on me. With that exposure, it has become incredibly important that I work diligently to make a difference in the underserved communities within the Appalachian region.”
