Senior Staff Accountant
After college, I looked for a job that would let me keep learning instead of doing the same thing every day. As a GIS and Community Development Specialist, I have had plenty of opportunities to build my skills in GIS software, technical tools, and government grant writing. On top of that, I gained an awesome work family that welcomed me and made me feel at home since day one. The atmosphere here is second to none and would make anyone feel appreciated!

My job gives me a chance to meet directly with civic and political leaders in all the cities and counties we serve and get to know the unique features of each community, with the goal of making each one a better place.  Promoting regional planning and development also allows me the opportunity to network with my colleagues from around the state, sharing ideas, successes, challenges and other experiences I can draw on to improve the Pennyrile.  Working at PeADD means I am part of a team of professionals who share a passion and drive to make the region the best it can be.
