Author & Speaker Tinnie Garlington shares on Good Deeds

Born and raised in Atlanta GA Tinnie Garlington has always had a passion for teaching. At preschool age Tinnie would tell the class "don't listen to the teacher, listen to me". As she grew older "life" happened and she became a mother at the age of 14. Even though she traveled from school to school, living with anyone who would take her in, she never gave up on learning. Through those experiences she began to write in notebooks about how she was feeling and in some cases make up stories so that she could escape her reality. A high school dropout with no one to turn to but God, she decided at the age of 20 to go back to school to obtain her GED. Times were still tough, but she made it. Shortly after graduating from Atlanta Job Corps, she decided to attend GMI Georgia Medical Institute for her certification as a Medical Administrative Assistant. The journey was still bumpy, but through her will to succeed, she graduated with honors. With a certification as a Lean Six Sigma Green belt and Professional Project Manager, Ms. Garlington is working on owning her own consulting firm. After twelve years of working towards her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management, she will finally add the letters “BA” to her business card in the Summer of 2016.
