## #NewStoryWV

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](https://blog.centralapp.us/centralapp-graduates-six-from-tech-training-program) — even though she had no prior tech experience. Eight months later, she became a 3x-certified Salesforce Consultant. Now she works from home through the [CentralApp Talent Exchange](https://www.centralapp.us/join-the-centralapp-talent-exchange), a marketplace connecting companies with tech talent in Appalachia. Not only is Beth a CentralApp Trailblazer, her tenacity and willingness to forge her own path shows the true spirit of West Virginia. 

CentralApp has joined the [West Virginia Hub](http://wvhub.org/) and dozens of other organizations and individuals in accepting the [#NewStoryWV](https://newstorywv.org/call-to-action/) Challenge. The New Story campaign is a collaborative storytelling project to celebrate the people and projects that showcase the spirit of West Virginia. Want to get involved?
