When her high school typing teacher asked her to be on the yearbook staff, Debbie had no idea how it would impact the course of her life. She earned her journalism degree from UTA and began a journey that has included a 15-year teaching career, where she received the Edith Fox King award, and more than 20 years as a yearbook representative, being named a Friend of Journalism by TAJE. After being part of two yearbooks as a high school staffer, 15 as an adviser and hundreds as a representative, her passion for telling a good story and love of teaching keep her getting back in her car each day to travel to the next school to fine tune a theme, answer a technology question or encourage an adviser.

Alicia has worked as a retail manager for companies like Wal-Mart and Target, and previously served as Miss Rodeo Oklahoma and the goodwill ambassador for the Oklahoma PRCA. When her two children were in grade school, she led multiple PTA organizations and yearbook projects. Alicia enjoys supporting teachers and schools by providing programs that will help them reach their full potential. She excels at turning money-losing non-profit organizations into profitable, self-sustaining entities.
