University. After graduating with a degree in Accounting she worked for 
the IRS in Atlanta. She moved back to Mississippi and worked as a 
project manager for Skytel for 9 years. She taught 6th grade and 8th

  Later, she opened her own accounting firm named LKT Professional Tax 
where she has been in business for 18 years and her business continue 
to grow each year.
  Mrs. Magee founded a young girls group called YLOTS where she mentors 
girls and has a girls only summer camp. Her passion is working with the 
youth and helping to make changes in this world. She takes countless 
number of youths all over the states on HBCU tours, encourage each 
student to attend college as well as educating them of the many choices 
out there. Mrs. Magee serves on the Youth department at her church
