Peachtree City

Clerk Nancy Faulkner has resigned from her position effective today.

Faulkner, 34,

told The Citizen Thursday that she intends to attend paralegal school

so she can seek a career in legal research.

"I'm going

to take my career in a different direction, but I'll still be around,"

Faulkner said, adding that she will be available if city officials need

to contact her for assistance in the future.

Employed with

the city since 1989, Faulkner has served as city clerk since May of 1995.

She hopes the city will continue aggressively with its records management

program, even though "there's a long way to go still."

Faulkner also

said she has made many friends at City Hall and she feels her fellow employees

make the city work well.

"I have

been proud to be a part of this team," Faulkner said.
