Continuing to Learn for Life

Taylor Millet • August 24, 2022

Have you ever heard the saying, “you learn something new every day?” It is so true, isn’t it? Oftentimes, we do not realize we learned something new, because a lot of things seem insignificant or minute in comparison to taking a class or attending a seminar. Formal training or not, it is important to continue to learn for life. 


At Guarantee Restoration Services, two of our five core values are efficiency and commitment. We pride ourselves on the training and the continuing education opportunities that we offer and provide to our team members. 


Continuing education is also known as CE. By putting an emphasis on CE, our team members can keep up current IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certifications) certifications, such as WRT, FSRT, AMRT and CDS. 

In addition, Guarantee Restoration Services can provide our partners with a convenient solution when it comes to renewing their licenses and certifications within different industry verticals. We are certified to teach these courses in both Louisiana and Mississippi.


Now, you may not have heard of Continuing Education before. What is it, exactly? This term denotes to any secondary programs people pursue after their formal education. These can come in many different variations, from seminars to classes, online courses, and hands-on training. 


Continuing education courses can do many things for you professionally. They can increase your qualifications, help you gain confidence in your field of study, and improve discipline in your line of work. Different industries have specific CE Requirements which must be upheld on an annual or semi-annual basis in order to continue practicing in said industry. In many industries, CE is essential to your advancement track and can lead to higher paying wages and supervisory positions within your organization.


“Never become an expert that you stop gaining expertise. 

View life as a continuous learning experience."  – Denis Waitley

Meet The Team | Whitney Hampton

By Christina Mullins • October 8, 2025
Ahh, October. It’s hard to fathom that we’re already on the brink of Halloween — and then, you know how the rest of the year goes. Before long, we’ll be preparing for our last full company meeting, Family Day, and our Thanksmas celebrations. The end of 2025 will be here before we know it! That being said — no matter what the busy season brings — when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always there for you. Meet the Team | Whitney Hampton Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase one of our awesome team members. For October, we are excited to introduce you to Whitney Hampton , one of our Gulfport Business Development Representatives. Gulf Coast Roots & Family Life Whitney was born and raised in New Orleans but has split her time between Louisiana and Mississippi throughout her life. She later moved to Gulfport, where she graduated from high school. As a young adult, she lived in Bossier City, LA. Now, she is back on the coast in Biloxi, where she raises her two children, Kohen and Kobi, with her husband. Education & Professional Background Whitney graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Marketing — SMTTT! This December, she’ll be finishing her master’s in marketing with a specialization in Digital Strategy. Before joining our team in December 2023, she worked in property management. Whitney started in leasing, then was promoted to Community Manager, where she received the Best Marketing Award in 2023 . Life Outside of Work Personally, when she is not working, Whitney is usually busy with “The Adventures of Kohen and Kobi.” They love spending their weekends exploring new places, such as the science museum, zoo, or splash pad. Staying active and making fun memories together is what she enjoys most. Sports are a big part of the Hampton household. They are big Philadelphia Eagles fans — GO BIRDS! They also love the Florida Gators and have attended many games in Gainesville. Saturdays and Sundays are definitely football days in their house.
