 As a board member, Cameryn provides support and guidance in many facets of business. She brings a strong understanding of risk management, and a keen analytical ability to assess strategic operational goals. As a lead committee member of the WSNA’s Sports & Fitness group, she is continuously, and excitedly working to develop enriching programs at the Community Center that will benefit all West Side residents.

Cameryn is a Chief Transportation Industry Analyst, at the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) - Maritime Administration (MARAD), working in the Office of Marine Insurance. She has been a civil servant for approximately 14 years, working with a variety of governmental agencies, contractors, and the public. Cameryn received a Master of Science in Maritime Management from the Loeb-Sullivan School of International Business at Maine Maritime Academy.  She also holds a Bachelor of Science in International Business and Logistics from Maine Maritime Academy. 

Cameryn moved to Tyaskin in 2022 with her partner Robert, 11-year-old son Adrian, and their black lab Quinn. Cameryn grew up in New England and moved to the DC area 15 years ago. In a quest for peace, tranquility, and a place to lay her forever roots, Cameryn discovered the West Side. She was immediately drawn to the surrounding untouched nature, historical charm, and sense of community. Upon arrival, Cameryn and her family were greeted with open arms by residents. Cameryn believes strongly in civic responsibility and a focus on the common good. She is committed to making WSNA an integral part of the community and improving the quality of life for all residents.   

 As Treasurer Viki is responsible for WSNA’s finances. She has been part of the team since its beginning and looks forward to the day when the Community Center is again an active, thriving and integral hub for the West Side community. 

Viki holds a master’s degree in business management and over the years held insurance management positions with several large corporations. When the economy tanked around 2010 and a lay-off resulted, she became a licensed insurance agent and opened a home-based business focused on helping people understand and enroll in Medicare. Fourteen years in, Viki’s business thrives, and all new clients come from referrals – a testament to her love of helping people and putting her experience to work.

Viki and her husband George have lived in many states over the years but found their forever home on the West Side. They moved permanently to Tyaskin in 2012 and have felt the love of this great community ever since. Viki volunteers at the Thrift Shop, was on the Steering Committee for the Friends of the Nanticoke River and regularly volunteers at the Food Bank. Both Viki and George feel deeply that service to community improves quality of life, and they gladly commit to helping and being involved wherever possible - particularly in WSNA’s success. 

My name is Hannah Korschgen, and I’m honored to serve on the board of the Westside Community Center. Though I’m relatively new to the area—having lived in Tyaskin for the past three years—I’ve felt a strong connection to the Westside from the beginning. Before moving here, I lived in Delaware and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and I’ve spent my entire professional life in service to my community through education.

I hold a bachelor's degree in education and have spent the last 17 years teaching in public schools. Over the course of my career, I’ve been actively involved in shaping school culture and curriculum. I’ve served on leadership teams, school climate committees, and curriculum development groups, and have led my grade-level team for many years. These experiences have helped me grow not only as an educator but also as a collaborator, organizer, and advocate.

My hope as a board member is to bring a strong sense of leadership and community to WSNA. With my background in education, I’m especially passionate about creating more learning opportunities and events for children and families in our area. I believe the Community Center can be a powerful hub for education, enrichment, and connection—and I’m excited to help make that a reality.

I also bring strong organizational skills and a team-oriented mindset, which I plan to use in support of WSNA events, classes, and outreach efforts. Over the years, I’ve participated in many community-focused programs such as after-school tutoring, food banks, backpack drives, and volunteer events. Public service has always been at the core of who I am, and I’m excited to continue that work here on the Westside.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy reading, gardening, and watercolor painting. These quieter moments give me balance and help me stay grounded—and they also remind me of the beauty in everyday life, which is what I hope to help bring to our community through my work with WSNA.

  Nancy served on the original Founding Board that was formed to establish the WestSide Neighborhood Alliance as a certified non-profit. This was the first step needed in order to negotiate a lease with the County and begin using the Community Center to provide programs and activities on a local level for West Side residents. Now that WSNA is an official 501(c)3 organization Nancy is serving as Vice Chair of the new and larger Working BOD as well as continuing as Fundraising Chair.

Born and raised in Washington, DC, Nancy attended George Washington University and then found employment on Capitol Hill where she lived with her husband and 2 children. She enjoyed working for Senator Jacob Javits on ERISA, the first federal pension protection bill to become law, and then working for Senator Ted Kennedy in his role as Chairman of the Senate Health Subcommittee. But with two young daughters she decided that she wanted them to have a quieter, more rural life growing up. They moved to Annapolis where they resided for 10 years and Nancy ended up working for Anne Arundel County’s Office of Economic Development. In the late 1980s she moved to Wicomico County and began a successful career in real estate. Wanting to be involved in the community led her to serving as a docent at The Ward Museum, as well as serving on a number of area nonprofit Boards. She was a founding member of The Wellness Community, which was established as a place that offered emotional and psychological support to cancer patients and their families. Other local organizations whose Boards she served on are Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council, Salisbury Symphony, Art Institute & Gallery and The United Way.

Now that Nancy and her husband, Daniel, are retired they are living in Tyaskin and enjoying life here on the West Side. They are both involved in the community, especially our efforts to establish WSNA as a valuable and fun new resource for local residents of all ages.
