Hi, I’m Kendra… and I’m the one you will find behind the scenes.
As the Marketing & Social Media Coordinator for Carroll County Tourism, I get to blend my love for travel and small communities. I try to make sure the right people discover the right places at just the right time. From trailheads to town events, my job is to help the county show up beautifully and authentically in person and online.
If you love the feeling of small mountain communities, you’re a lot like me. I’ve always been drawn to places for the aesthetic, the hidden gems, and the nature. Carroll County has all of that… if you know where to go and what to look for.
And luckily, that’s exactly what this website is here to help you do.


When I’m not building content calendars or planning our next campaign, you’ll probably find me catching golden hour with my camera, exploring a new destination, or showing up to random events just to see what’s happening.
I love sharing my adventures and the everyday moments that make the mountains special.
Because sometimes a single photo, a reel, or a story is all it takes for someone to fall in love with a place.
After studying and working across Southwest Virginia, I brought my curiosity and a lot of ideas back home. I’ve worked alongside local businesses and communities long enough to know Carroll County has something special: a mix of nature, shops, creativity, and people who genuinely care about where they live.
My role is helping others see that potential, too.
