For many, it’s enough to get up, go to work, go home and repeat. West Virginia native Skye Reymond is not like many people. While juggling her full-time position as a Data Scientist, and a member of CentralApp’s Talent Exchange, Skye also takes the time to mentor other people in the state’s growing tech field. The Marshall University and Northwestern University graduate isn’t just defined by her considerable intellectual pursuits. She also lends her talents on the soccer field as a coach with the Eastern Elite Soccer Academy.

This past Spring, we issued a challenge to people throughout West Virginia — and the entire Appalachian region: earn your Salesforce Administrator certification in 100 days or less, and we’ll pay for it. This challenge was born from the belief that people in this region have the resourcefulness and work ethic to excel in the incredibly fast-growing tech industry if they’re given the opportunity.

Beth Fanning Taylor is a true trailblazer. When Beth moved to a more rural community in WV, she searched for a job where she could use her college degree and have the flexibility to make sure her family stayed a top priority. What she found was the opportunity to take a chance. As a new mom, Beth enrolled in the Centralapp tech training program — even though she had no prior tech experience.

Not only is Beth a CentralApp Trailblazer, her tenacity and willingness to forge her own path shows the true spirit of West Virginia.
