Educationally, I have a BA (Sociology@UNC-Chapel Hill) an MA (Sociology@USC-Columbia), and 2 years toward a Doctorate (UM–Columbia). I have teaching experience in both the high school and community college arenas, and have substitute taught at all levels from first grade on up since my undergraduate days. My work experiences, to name a few, range from sales and marketing to exploring for oil in the Atchafalaya Basin in Louisiana to demographics and market research in Virginia to sales and mark.
