Brittany (Weeks) Hill



  10 years has flown by for me.  After high school, I started off at Northeast CC. I met lots of great people that I still consider good friends.  Then after two years I headed off to MS State to study Accounting.  My years at Mississippi State seemed to be really busy, but we made plenty time to relax at the pool too.  My senior year, I went through the recruiting process for a job that was two years away, it was stressful and fun at the same time!  I ended up with a Big 4 Accounting Firm, KPMG, that let me do an internship in Memphis second semester of my senior year.  Loved it and decided that is where I wanted to be.  I graduated with my Bachelors of Accountancy in May 2007, then I continued to Graduate school for the next year at MSU.  Graduate school is where my love for State grew even more!  I worked in the Office of Admissions as a Campus recruiter.  I got to learn so much more about the school than I ever imagined and got High School seniors just as excited about campus as I had been.  I also ended up meeting a really great guy named Benjamin who slowly made me fall in love until I couldn’t deny it anymore.  We traveled together, enjoyed MSU sports together, but most of all we loved breaking it down on the dance floor at every wedding/bar/event we attended. 
After a busy year of grad school, working, and studying for the CPA exam, I finally graduated in July 2008 with a Masters of Professional Accountancy, moved to Memphis, TN and added CPA to my name.  I worked with KPMG for a year and a half before moving back to Tupelo to join the Accounting department at BancorpSouth.  In August 2010, I married my dancing partner and moved into our first house.  Two became three when we adopted Jiggy, the craziest boxer puppy I’ve ever met.  I love him dearly even though he is extremely stubborn.
 
Benjamin and I lived through many renovations in that house before we sold it in 2012 to move to Pontotoc where he is from.   We are now currently building my dream house on a lake (ready in July) and I’m so ready for this next stage in our lives!
