STUDENT VOICE

Hello, everyone! My name is Tori Gaston, and I am the EDIFY (Early Development of Informed Foster Youth) Case Manager at KVC West Virginia. My passion for this position stems from my four years of peer and professional tutoring experience at Fairmont State University, where I earned my BA in English and BA in Spanish. Although I had initially planned to use those degrees to go into teaching, I had the wonderful opportunity to explore the social work field right after graduation as a CSED (Children with Serious Emotional Disorders) Wraparound Moderator. In the near future, I hope to earn my MSW! When I am not working, I love going for runs, reading books that have been waiting on my shelves (for months!), and finding new ways to get involved in my community. Recently, I completed my rugby referee licensure and have been volunteer coaching with my county's local youth rugby group!
