I am Mrs. Ashia Smith and I graduated from Winthrop University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (2007) and Augusta University (2016) with a Masters of Arts in Teaching. Upon graduation, from Winthrop University, I entered corporate America and I began my career in sales. After years in sales, I became a District Sales Consultant and was responsible for sales, training and team leadership. It was my exposure to training that guided me to my passion for teaching. As a teacher, I still consider myself as a sales representative, except I no longer sell a tangible product. I sell education and I get my students to buy in to a product that they will keep for their entire lives.
