Telena Marie Turner is a communication studies major and English literature minor at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise. Graduating in the class of 2020, she plans to attend graduate school and pursue a career in higher education.
Raised in Haysi, a small town in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, she has a love for the Appalachian Mountains, which she has called home all her life.
