Payton Arnett

I'm Payton Arnett-- a first-year Facilitator for Spoon River CEO. I bring five years of experience in elementary educationacross both private and public sectors, along with two years as a small business owner. I havealways been passionate about helping young people grow theirconfidence, creativity, and real-world skills, and I am so excited to implement that in a new way withSpoon River CEO! I'm looking forward to blending together my love for learning and entrepreneurship in this brand new program to Fulton County. I am a graduate of Spoon River College and Western Illinois University, and currently reside with my husband, Cody, in Lewistown, Illinois. When I'm not working for CEO or for my own small business, you will most likely find me outdoors- gardening, fishing withmy husband, or on a walk with our black lab, Dixie. I am honored to be a part of this program that I know will bring so much success, leadership, and positivity to our community. I can't wait to witness the next generation turn their innovativeideas into a reality through CEO!
