MaKenna Whiting

As an alumni of Southern Virginia University, I know firsthand the amazing opportunities that are available thanks to the incredible faculty, staff and academics. As a student here, I studied Art and Human Development. Passionate about education and helping each student thrive, I am currently finishing my Master’s Degree in Educational Studies. When I’m not working on the campus I love, you can find me teaching art classes in downtown Buena Vista at my community art studio, hiking or kayaking with my family in the Blue Ridge Mountains, painting with watercolors and gouache among my goats and chickens, or devouring a good historical fiction.
