Educational History
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgia Southern University with minors in Business Management and Criminal Justice. I then went on to graduate school and earned a Master of Science in Clinical-Counseling Psychology from Valdosta State University in 2012. I then attempted a doctorate and earned a second master's in Human Services from Capella University, and finally, I earned a Ph.D. in Psychology from Walden University in 2024. After my oldest son's diagnosis, I completed a course, "Teaching Students with Autism in the General Education Classroom Setting."
School Setting
I have supported learners, educators, administrators, supervisory program specialists (sps), trainers, and curriculum instructors in the early childhood, elementary, middle, and high school setting in multiple states.
Mental Health Field
I have worked in the Children's Advocacy Center supporting children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. I have worked as a therapist for youth in the juvenile justice system. I have also worked as a reintegration case manager for youth in foster care and as a case manager and supervisor support individuals who are disabled and/or have mental health diagnoses.
