Our Team

In high school, Clarice was a founding member of Ripley Youth Outreach, a youth philanthropy program that empowers youth to create a voice in their communities.  She graduated from South Ripley High School as Valedictorian with Academic and Technical Honors in 2017 and continued her post-secondary education at Hanover College. In May of 2020, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a certification in the Business Scholars Program. To continue her philanthropic efforts, Clarice was hired as the Ripley County Community Foundation’s Outreach and Communication Liaison after graduation and served in the position for nine months until transitioning into the role of Director for Genesis. Clarice is passionate about planning and implementing co-curricular programming opportunities for students in Ripley County, such as Kids Riding Bikes, Future Ready Robotics Camp, and the Rube Goldberg Machine Contest. Creating a STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Ecosystem that is innovative, challenging, and fun for students is an invaluable and rewarding experience for her.

Fun Fact: In her free time, Clarice loves the opportunity to travel and try new foods while embracing new cultural surroundings. She is also very fond of visiting zoos and aquariums to learn about plants and animals.
