Stephanie was born and raised in the Tri-state area and has resided in Huntington, WV for nearly 20 years. She is committed to the Tri-state and serving with an open heart and an open mind.

Lee McCloud
Program Manager
Lee McCloud has been with Big Brothers Big Sisters for over 20 years. Even after 20 years of employment, Big Brothers Big Sisters is still her “dream job” and she continues to learn more about mentoring and the issues currently facing tri-state youth. Lee has an undergrad degree in Mass Communications and Recreation and has her Master’s in Education. Lee has one child still at home and loves to read and spend time in her backyard at her home in Ashland, KY.
Mandy Perry
Events Coordinator
Mandy Perry came to Big Brothers Big Sisters in October 2020. She received a B.A. from Marshall University and has experience in the legal field and private industry assisting in mergers and acquisitions.
Mandy is married to her husband Ryan, and they have two beautiful sons. Being a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters holds a special place in Mandy’s heart as her own biological little sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor and passed away in 2007 at the age of 22. It is a blessing to be a part of an organization that helps to make important connections between Bigs and Littles while at the same time allowing Mandy to honor her little sister Emmy in the process.
