Working alongside Destiny Bryson on the OhioSE Engagement Team, Kohler will collaborate with local governments, economic development groups, and regional partners across the organization’s 25-county footprint. Her work will focus on building partnerships, expanding awareness, and connecting communities with tools and funding to support job growth.

To be part of an operation that supports economic growth and helps people achieve their goals is a dream come true.”
