Thessia Carpenter

Thessia Carpenter joined Options for Learning as the controller in June 2021, and was named vice president of finance a year later. She is most fulfilled in helping organizations achieve their optimal financial goals. As a testament to her curiosity for continued education and learning, she holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from DeVry University, an MBA with a specialization in accounting, and a master's degree in human resources management, both from Keller Graduate School. She is passionate about sharing her talents in this field because of her personal connection to the work.

Previously, Thessia proudly flourished as a Head Start parent, where both she and her children benefited immensely. She believes her passion translates into the work that she produces and the insight she provides in ensuring that all grants are in compliance and no child is left behind. She believes every family deserves an equitable start in life and the same opportunity she did to succeed.
