enjoys the challenges of learning the AutoCAD program for the engineering projects . She said she enjoys getting out in the field on site visits with producers and landowners and learning from District Administrator Ryan Medley and Zach Wallace , district technician .
Wanting to give back to the community , Savage is now a Cloverbud adviser for the This-N-That 4-H Club and in her third year serving on the fair board , where she oversees the agricultural hall .
Sam Daugherty recommended Leadership Coshocton County for Savage as a way to learn more about the community and leadership . Savage said the program has pushed her outside her comfort zone and enjoys working one-on-one for the chapter reviews .
She said , “ I enjoy learning about the others in the class and the community . Living here , I knew some about the community , but there ’ s still quite a bit I didn ’ t know about .”
Savage said she appreciates the tight-knit community . She said it ’ s especially evident during the fair , when you see people and can pick up where you left off . She said the community also comes together when someone is in need , and people help each other out .
To make the county stronger , Savage said keep the community together and work together toward the same goal . “ We need to get everyone on the same page , which can be especially hard in a small town where everyone has the same ideas but different ways to get there . We also need community leaders working toward the same goal .”
Savage said she would recommend LCC for others . “ It pushes you outside your comfort zone and helps you find your strengths and weaknesses to work on . You get to know the county and the leaders in the county .”
She is married to Austin , who also is employed by the county as a mechanic , and they have one son , Hayden , who is 11 months old .
