“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity, and understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep, loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), licensed in the state of Tennessee. 

She earned her bachelor’s degree from Tennessee State University in 2007 and her master’s degree from the University of Tennessee in 2010.

In order to achieve this desire, she pursued diverse educational training and experiences that would expand upon her current knowledge. She has worked on a community-based project in Mexico and with the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency Study. She also has experience working with youth development, foster care, trauma-informed care, the Public Defender’s office, and in the school social work setting.
