Alabaster raised!  I graduated from Thompson High School in 1994.  After high school I attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1999.  I obtained a Bachelors degree in Finance and Investments.  After working as Mortgage Underwriter for 7 years I had a change of heart and decided I wanted to be in education. In 2005 I began teaching Business classes at Thompson High School while earning my teaching certificate from Athens State.  Over the years I have taught various business courses  including Marketing, Business Law, Management, and Career Prep.  I am excited for this upcoming year where I will be teaching Career Prep A and am responsible for the COOP/Work Based Learning Program.
