Cieana Sinkler

Cieana Sinkler, daughter of Deborah Wright and the late Mr. and Mrs. Leon Wright, has faithfully served the mission of Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church for nearly two decades, bringing dedication, experience, and a deep commitment to community service. Her journey began in 1999, when she worked at the Christian & Academic School under the leadership of Mrs. Venitia Duncan after graduating from high school.

In 2005, Cieana joined the M. H. Newton Family Life Enrichment Center, where she served until 2010 before relocating to Fayetteville, North Carolina. During that time, she worked tirelessly with students at Overhills Elementary School. Upon returning to Sumter in 2013, she resumed her work at the M. H. Newton Family Life Enrichment Center, continuing her passion for supporting individuals and families through education, service, and leadership. She also plays an integral role in the HYPE After School Programs, further extending her commitment to youth development and academic enrichment. Cieana holds degrees in Elementary Education and Business Management, which inform her thoughtful, well-rounded approach to her work.

A lifelong member of Emmanuel United Methodist Church, Cieana's service is deeply rooted in faith, family, and community. She has been married to her husband, Ernest, since 2012, and together they are raising six children: Ariana, Mikeala, Kennedy, Kinleigh, Kali, and Ernest III. She is also the owner of K3 Kreations & Designs, a small crafting business where she is able to express her creativity through meaningful and inspired work.
