Hello My name is Valarie E. Thompson, i am a new Cosmetology Instructor at Miller-Motte College in Jacksonville,NC. I have been a Cosmetologist for 22 years and love the field, so i decieded to teach others about my passion. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 22 years this August and am the mother of a 14 year old daughter named Gabrielle. He is my soul mate and she is the the love of my life. I know that sounds silly but she really is what makes me strive to be a better person everyday. I am very involved in Gabrielle's music and softball, along with starting my new career. I am enjoying every minute of it so far.
