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.
