Hickson has more than 40 years of educational experience. She served as the superintendent of Florence School District 3 for 10 years.

She earned her Doctoral and Educational Specialist Degrees in Educational Leadership from South Carolina State University and principal certification from The Citadel. Starting her career in 1983 as an elementary and middle school teacher, she served as assistant principal, principal, accountability director and assistant superintendent of instruction.
