Deborah is a Ringgold, Georgia native who has lived in Atlanta since her freshman year at Oglethorpe University.  She graduated in 2008 with a degree in Economics and a minor in Mathematics.  Deborah resides in Norcross, Georgia with her husband Jerome.

In recent years she has worked in childcare and interned with a grassroots non-profit, A School Bell Rings, as a volunteer intern and assistant director of special events. Working with a local organization provided her with opportunities including collaborating for semiannual fundraisers, developing a social networking presence, and coordinating communication of all volunteers and board members.

In July of 2011 Deborah embarked on a new adventure. She will be living in Hyderabad, India as a “learning on the job” consultant/fellow for the IDEX Fellowship in Social Enterprise program. The IDEX Fellowship offers her the opportunity to tangibly contribute to a developing social eco-network and expand her knowledge of cross sector solutions to obstacles challenging quality education in low-income regions. Her goal is to embrace the words of David Bornstein and to inundate her self into “the beginning – a story, an example, an early taste of success” through all of the avenues IDEX and India have to offer.
