Heather brings her love of travel to the profession, as a Fulbright Scholar in Ghana, she learned how to understand and celebrate other cultures. A skill she passes on to students via study abroad trips. Her passion for the arts can be seen in her work on the board of the Halsey Gallery of Contemporary Art and her work coordinating college student experiences with Heart: An inclusive arts community for adults with special needs. Finally, her advocacy and leadership within the community is evident in her service on the Governor-appointed Charleston County Disabilities Board and the Halsey Institute of Art Executive Board.
