Education and ExperienceAfter graduating from John Foster Dulles High School in Sugar Land, Texas, Ms. I continued my education at Houston Baptist University in Houston, Texas. After graduating with a double major in Marketing and Business Management I went to work for Delta Air Lines in their Houston sales department. Later, I moved to McDonough and managed a travel agency in Morrow. After obtaining an exclusive contract with Chick-fil-A's corporate office, I was the manager of their on-site travel agency until the birth of my children, when I became a stay-at-home mother.
When my youngest children were in pre-school, their principal asked if I would teach the K-4 class. I returned to school to earn her teaching certificate and again for an endorsement in gifted education. I have taught every grade from K-4 through 5th and also a pull-out gifted class. My sales background has proved invaluable in the classroom, as teaching uses many of the same skills and techniques used by successful salespeople. I "sell" the idea of learning to my students! |
