She received her Bachelor of Industrial Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Master of Arts in Supervision and Administration from the University of Phoenix, and she is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Organizational Leadership from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

A highly respected leader, Mrs. Howie was endorsed by the Talbot County Education Association (TCEA).  “We submit this recommendation without reservation and with our heartfelt belief that she is an ideal candidate who will serve our community well,” said Mr. Andrew Burke, TCEA President, in a letter to Governor Moore.
