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!
