I graduated high school in 1994 from Mansfield High School. I went on to graduate with my Associates of Arts Pre Accounting in 1996 from Carl Albert State College in Poteau. I took a little time off to establish my family and then continued my education at Arkansas Tech University with my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education in 2003. I have since furthered my education at Walden University receiving 24 additional hours studying Mathematics.
