Hope Thatcher graduated with a BA in Biological Sciences, pre-med from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.  Later she decided not to pursue med school and instead found success in telecom and network sales.  After consistently exceeding her sales quota as a National Account Executive at WorldCom and identifying a need in the marketplace, Hope founded her own company, em-tel communications.  She became a trusted advisor offering various cloud, telecom, network solutions, and bill auditing.
