Business Management and Adminstration
Business Management & Administration
Greetings! I am Bridget Davis, a proud native of Lowndes County and a dedicated educator with over 14 years of experience in Career and Technical Education. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business/Marketing Education from Alabama State University and a Master’s degree in Business/Marketing Education from Ball State University. I am currently pursuing a second Master’s degree in Instructional Leadership to further expand my impact in education leadership.
I serve as the Business Management Administration teacher at the Lowndes County Career Technical Center, where I prepare students with real-world business, leadership, technology, and workforce readiness skills. I hold industry certifications in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (2019) and intentionally integrate industry standards and credentialing opportunities into my curriculum to ensure students graduate career- and college-ready.
In addition to teaching, I proudly serve as a member of the Alabama FBLA Administrative Board (2025–2026). I previously served as the Alabama FBLA District 4 Vice President Adviser (2022–2025) and have dedicated over 15 years as a Future Business Leaders of America adviser. Through FBLA, I mentor student leaders, coordinate competitive events, and support leadership development initiatives at the district and state levels. My work centers on equipping students with professional skills, confidence, and opportunities to compete and excel on state and national platforms.
Beyond the classroom, I serve as the Business Section President for the Alabama Association for Career and Technical Education (ALACTE), where I advocate for strengthening Career and Technical Education programs, fostering industry partnerships, and supporting educators across Alabama.
My passion also extends into the arts and community engagement. I serve as Choir Director of the Voices of Central High School Gospel Choir and enjoy using music as a platform to inspire and empower students. I also enjoy traveling, event planning, and mentoring youth to become impactful leaders.
I am a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and a member of the gospel group Restored and Anointed of Braggs, Alabama.
Helping each child grow academically, professionally, and personally is not just my career—it is my calling. I remain committed to creating innovative learning environments that empower students to lead, serve, and succeed in an ever-evolving world.
