Courtney Cooper
Executive Assistant Education & Work Experience: (Stetson University) BA – History, (Stetson University) BA- Fine Art, (Tiffin University) MA – Humanities with a Concentration in English Literature and Education. English Teacher at New Smyrna Beach High School, Florida. Art Appraiser & Authenticator with Art Experts, Inc. Insurance Agent with Brown & Brown Insurance, Manager at GNC. Why I came to Malone: I moved to Malone in order to start fresh after spending almost 20 years in Florida. As an Army Brat, I moved all over the country, as well as overseas many times throughout my life. Often this would involve long road trips during which we would pass through small, historic towns and I would think how I would love to live in towns like these someday. After deciding that it was time for me to leave Florida and make a better life for myself and my family, I discovered Malone, and it was the embodiment of the small, rural, historic town I was seeking, with an up and coming arts community, and signs of growth. The Chamber was gracious enough to hire me, allowing me to become a part of the community I chose as my home. |
