Heather graduated from Murray State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Design and a Master’s Certification in Nonprofit Leadership and Management. After working in the design field in Indiana, Florida, and New York for approximately five years, Heather and her family decided it was time to move closer to home. This move, along with a major shift in focus, led Heather to begin a career working with communities and their youth.  Heather has dedicated over 15 years to teaching youth, engaging communities, and mobilizing change.

In 2004 she became a Licensed Certified Prevention Specialist by the Kentucky Certification Board for Prevention Professionals.

Heather was responsible for reviewing and evaluating each of the agency’s programs and submitting Program Evaluation reports to the President/CEO and the Board of Directors. Her primary function, however, was to write the agency’s grants, including local, community, foundation, and federal applications. She was able to partner with the Harrison County Community Foundation to become the grant writer of the W. K. Kellogg Access to Recreation Grant, which brought over $411,000 in grant funds to Harrison County. This grant provided numerous accessible improvements to many parks in the county.
