My name is Hsi-Ling-Shi Thompson-Burnett.  I am a native of Brookhaven, MS and I have been a resident of the Mississippi Gulf Coast for the past 14 years.  I am the mother of three amazing daughters. I also have the pleasure of being a dance mom and a Girl Scout assistant troop leader.  My favorite pastimes are crafting and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I am a graduate of The University of Southern Mississippi with a BSBA degree in Human Resources Management. I received my second bachelor's degree from William Carey University in Elementary Education (Endorsements: Pre-Kinder-Kindergarten, Elementary Education K-6, Reading K-12, English 7-12, Social Studies, and Business Education 7-12). I obtained my master's degree in Secondary Education (Endorsement: Gifted K-12) from William Carey University, also.
