In 1997 Debbie graduated with a BS in Nursing from UNC Chapel Hill, and in 2000 she received a Master of Science from the Department of Education at NC State University.
Debbie was a lifelong nurse, working at Raleigh Community and Wake Med hospitals before a career change to public school teaching in 1995. From 1996 until 2011, Debbie worked as a high school teacher with Wake County Schools, teaching Health Occupations and serving as the faculty leader of the HOSA Club. Debbie received her National Board Professional Teaching Standards Certification and was the recipient of numerous awards, including Teacher of the Year at Fuquay-Varina High School in 2001.
