A proud Austin-East Magnet High School graduate, Evetty Satterfield has been afforded phenomenal opportunities through education. She contributes her development from the many mentors that surrounded her in the East Knoxville Community. She holds a Special Education degree from Alabama A&M University and a Master of Social Work from Washington University in St. Evetty understands the importance of

mastering your craft in order to serve your community with passion and knowledge.
