I am Jeff Hill and I serve as the Executive Director of the Wilson County Substance Prevention Coalition. My passion to reach our community with prevention tools and methods comes from my own lived experiences. My wife (Christina) and I reside in Goldsboro with our dog, Champ, but Wilson is definitely home to us.
I have experience serving vulnerable at-risk populations experiencing substance misuse and other challenges. I have worked with impoverished demographics within the Wilson County limits for the past two years, serving populations ranging in various ages, ethnicities, and education within a non-profit (501c3) work environment. My areas of proficiency include educational development, workforce related training, and personal/behavioral skills training/counseling. In September 2017, I became certified to implement a behavioral risk/need assessment known as the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) by the Alma Institute and was later certified as a Recovery Coach via the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) in October 2018. In my current position as coalition director, I oversee several grants that have allowed us to supply our great community with medication lock boxes, medication disposal kits, naloxone kits and education for prevention, treatment and recovery programs. |
My name is Jennifer Lane and I serve as the RC3 Coordinator. I am grateful to be working alongside such an amazing team here at Recovery Concepts Community Center.
I graduated from Barton College in 1993 with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology. I worked for Wilson-Greene MH/DD/SAS (Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services) for 12 years serving as a counselor and case manager. Also, I worked for PORT Human Services (Patient Outcomes Research Team) for six years serving as the liaison between DSS (Department of Social Services) and Mental Health as the QSAP (Qualified Substance Abuse Professional) for Wilson and Greene MH/DD/SAS. I have had the pleasure of working with various age groups and diverse populations in the mental health, and substance related field. One of my passions is developing programs through a combined effort with community agencies and local resources to help increase awareness of substance related issues through education, prevention, and recovery. I enjoy working with individuals in recovery. Addiction does not discriminate. It affects everyone involved. There are many people who have lost hope. People need encouragement not to give up. They need to be restored, healed, and loved. I want to be an encouragement to those who have lost their identity to drugs and/or alcohol. My hobbies are spending time with my beautiful children, painting, crafting, gardening, cooking, spending time outside in nature, praise and worship, and participating in bible studies. |

My name is Ashlie Smith. I am the Youth Engagement Coordinator. I have always had a desire to work with youth in various capacities. Over the last ten years, I have worked in the capacity as a tutor, substitute teacher, classified teacher assistant as well as an Expectational Children’s teacher. In my leisure time, I have hosted youth group bible studies monthly, volunteered my time at Old Waynesborough Park during celebrations as well as volunteered and participated in school field days.
Currently, I am the Youth Grant Coordinator for the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Grant at Wilson County Substance Prevention Coalition. The purpose of the SPF Grant is to prevent the onset and reduce the evolution of substance misuse among youth on a community and state level. Thus far, we have obtained numerous community support investors. We have a focused effort with local law enforcement, Barton College and the Wilson County Public Schools. We are planning implementation of various prevention educational programs in elementary, middle and high schools. An after school program has been established to assist in developing a relationship and bond with youth. The after school program will be facilitated at the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Wilson. Through the use of a variety of learning approaches, the program’s purpose is to enhance and broaden their educational knowledge of substance prevention. Additionally, we are currently in the process of creating a youth coalition to further the outreach to the youth in the Wilson community. |
I am Pamela Letchworth, the Data Collector and Evaluator for WCSPC. I was a National Board Certified mathematics teacher for 29 years and maintain my teaching license with the state of North Carolina. In June 2019, I retired from Fike High School in Wilson, with the intent of exploring other interests. My desire has always been to make a positive impact in my community by involving myself in existing programs that actively fulfill their vision and mission. Accepting the position as Data Coordinator for WCSPC has helped me do that. As an active member of Impact Church of Wilson, I retired as youth minister in February 2021 after 24 years of service to pursue other ministry opportunities. In addition to serving my church, I also serve as a volunteer and church liaison at Choices Women's Center in Wilson.
One of my biggest joys is being aunt to my many nieces and nephews and being dog mom to Pearlie and Penny, the cutest cocker spaniels you will ever meet. My hobbies and interests include healthy living, most any outdoor activity, creating products from essential oils, gardening, beaching, cooking, baking, dancing, leading a women’s discipleship class, and making people smile with random acts of kindness. At WCSPC, I am primarily responsible for collecting, reporting, analyzing and evaluating data for the HRSA RCORP Implementation Grant. The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) is a multi-year initiative by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in high risk rural communities. Currently data is being collected by community partners who have joined our Data Sharing Community of Practice. They report data to WCSPC and it is shared in our data repository and LiveReports on our website via LiveStories, Inc. in Seattle, Washington. Our data repository and LiveReports can be found under Community Data on our website menu. |

My name is Anna Davis and I am the Community Engagement Coordinator for Wilson County Substance Prevention Coalition.
I graduated from Wilson Christian Academy and then received a degree in Office Administration from West Coast Baptist College in California. I have also completed certification and am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. For fun, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy photography. After moving to Wilson, I was involved in Reformers Unanimous Recovery (RU) for 3 years. RU is a faith-based recovery program. While being at RU, I mostly worked in the childcare and I enjoyed being the person that the parents could trust to leave their children with while they went to the meeting. www.tbcwilson.com/ru Wilson has been my home since 2017. I love being involved in Wilson County and look forward to becoming more involved through Wilson County Substance Prevention Coalition and RC3. I am excited to provide resources, be a help to my community, and to be an ally to recovery. I am very grateful for this opportunity! |
