My name is Marla Dee Ingels and I would like the opportunity to represent our great state as a State Senator.  I have resided in the mountain state all my life and was educated at both our fine Universities.  I currently have a BS degree in psychology, a master’s degree in special education courtesy of WVU.   I earned a second master’s degree through Marshall Graduate College in counseling.  I have worked in the school system as an elementary school counselor for the last 8 years, and was a special educator for 5 years prior to that.  I really enjoy working with my students and they are the inspiration for my political aspirations.
