After working in corporate America for approximately 15 years in insurance, customer service management, and sales, I transitioned back into higher education through employment at Southwest Tennessee Community College.

I started on senior staff and transitioned into a full-time faculty role in the Business and Legal Studies department. I have two adult children (a son and a daughter). My hobbies include running, swimming, and watching sporting events." - Oyama Hampton, III
