March is Social Work Month and we want to take the time to give a shout-out to Cindy Deskins who is the Family Service Manager for Head Start / Pre-K / Early Head Start and Parents As Teachers for the county.
Cindy's adversities and struggles of her childhood became the inspiration toward her desire to help others and her chosen career path of social work. During her employment as the TANF paralegal with WV Legal Aid, Cindy was blessed with the opportunity to move to Morgantown and pursue her master’s degree in social work at West Virginia University. Cindy continued to live and work in Morgantown after her graduation and was employed as a mental health therapist for a non-profit agency for at-risk children, adults, and families while her son attended WVU. Upon her son’s college graduation, Cindy returned to Monroe County and was offered the opportunity of the position of Family Services Manager with Monroe County Schools where she has been employed since March 2019.
Cindy loves her work and is committed to serving Monroe County children and families. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her own family and friends, as well as her beloved Yorkie and cats. She also enjoys crafting, cooking, and entertaining, and is an avid DIYer.
We appreciate all Cindy does for our programs and for helping move our youngest children and their families forward
