Who is Miss Ebner?

Grew up in Denver, Colorado

I was raised in a family of 7 (5 kids & 2 parents).

My father was the only that worked. He never made more than $18,000/yr.

It was my parents dream that each of us get a college degree (& have braces).

All 5 of us have done both!

Here’s a few pictures of some member of my

family…

How Did I Get Involved in

DECA?

It all started back at Jefferson High School in Colorado

I was in DECA!!!

Placed 1st in the State for the Free Enterprise Project

Competed at the National Conference in Washington DC

Went to Utah State University

For 3 years

Finished my Degree at Colorado State University

Taught at Evergreen High School in Colorado for 4 Years

Where we had the #3 ranked DECA Chapter in the State!!

Then I went out into the Corporate World….

Where I worked in the Car Rental Business

for 11+ Years

I moved about every 1 ½ yrs while I was in the Car Rental Business:

• Charlotte, NC• Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ• Tallahassee, FL (Go Seminoles!)• Charleston, SC• Birmingham, AL

I also spent up to 3 months at a time in:• Myrtle Beach, NC (set up a new location)• Atlanta, GA (taught hiring & training practices)• Memphis, TN

During the last 15 months I worked there, I spent 3 months commuting to Memphis, 5 months commuting to Houston, and 3 months commuting to Fort Lauderdale. (11 mos on the road)

I would get on a plane Monday morning & came home on Friday or Saturday to Birmingham.

After climbing the corporate ladder (I finally made it to corporate headquarters), I knew something was missing because I was not happy with my career anymore.

I realized that I was meant to help others learn to believe in themselves – as in Teaching High School again!

In the meantime (before I could get a teaching job), I needed to work

(bills to pay!).

So, I went to work for an International Air Ambulance &

Private Airline Company

After 3 yrs, I finally got a job Teaching again!

We had the LARGEST DECA CHAPTER in the State of

Alabama all 4 yrs I was there

• We were one of the BEST high schools in DECA for competitors!

• We had the State President!

• We went to the International DECA Conference every year! (California, Dallas, Nashville, Orlando)

GET INVOLVED in DECA!

It can change your life!

Then I got the chance to move to Asheville, NC (one of my dreams) to come & teach at

A.C. Reynolds High School!

So, I left my home in Alabama…

At first, I lived in a 4 room cottage in Black Mountain

Now I live in Asheville

With my cat, Bella

And my dog, Millie

What do I do with my spare time?

(besides grading papers, DECA, & doing lesson plans….)

I enjoy gardening

I like going to festivals & art shows

And I love spending time & having fun with my friends & family!
