Education:
Associate's Degree in Banking and Finance from Shawnee State University (1987)
Graduate of Wheelersburg High School (1984)
Background:
I am happy to say I was born and raised in Wheelersburg. I graduated a Pirate in 1984. After high school, I went to work at Bank One and continued my education at Shawnee State University. From there I went to work at G & J Pepsi Cola. It was there I met my husband, David. I then moved to a new job in residential lighting at State Electric Supply and worked there for over 30 years. I worked out of the Portsmouth location and the Huntington, WV lighting showroom. During that time, I lived for a brief period in South Point, OH. When my son was ready to start school, my priority was getting Brandon back to Wheelersburg and enrolled in our excellent school system. I have been employed with the Porter Township Trustee's Office since 2020.
Board Member:
Elected to the Wheelersburg Board of Education in November of 2021.
Family:
My parents, Richard and Helen Wesney, and I reside in Wheelersburg. My son, Brandon, also a graduate of WHS, class of 2011, lives in Cleveland, Ohio with his family.
Personal Thoughts:
Wheelersburg excels in classroom education, sports and other extracurricular activities due to the pride and traditions our leaders/teachers have placed upon our students. I have experienced this myself, while I was in school, and again through my son. I am in a position now to be a good steward and give back to the school a little of what they have given to me over the years. Once a Pirate...always a Pirate!

Personal Thoughts:
As a product of the Wheelersburg School District, I have experienced the tradition, spirit, and pride of being a Pirate and I know how much that means to our students and faculty. Putting our children first and going above and beyond for them is what enables our school district to perform at a high level each and every year. Never taking that for granted and expecting to win in the classroom and through extracurricular activities are some of the traditions we must uphold. I am proud to be a small part of the Wheelersburg team that leads our children to becoming successful adults in society.
