My Professional Background

My career began as a professional fashion model and narrator. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Fashion Marketing Communication that led to various positions in retail and wholesale industries in New York City. Changing careers to the field of corporate training I returned to school. I received a Master of Arts degree in Education from the University of Michigan, specializing in training dynamics and leadership for adults. With approximately twenty years of success in the field of corporate training my career took a radical turn for the better.

A calling from God led me to Ashland Theological Seminary where I received a Master of Arts degree in Pastoral Counseling. I am licensed by the state of Michigan to counsel and working towards full licensure. I am credentialed by the National Board for Certified Counselors. NBCC's certification program recognizes counselors who have met predetermined standards in their training, experience, and performance on the National Counselor Examination for Licensure and Certification (NCE), the most portable credentialing examination in counseling. I have counseled victims of domestic violence in my own practice and for HAVEN an agency dedicated to the eradication of domestic violence. I continued my studies and received a Doctorate in Ministry from United Theological Seminary. It is my hope that those who are suffering can receive help from our churches and other religious organizations as well.

I belong to the following organizations and hold various positions within them:
. (MCADV) Michigan Coalition Against Domestic Violence
. University of Michigan Alum
. Ashland Theological Seminary Alum
. United Theological Seminary Alum
. Elder in the Presbyterian Church
. Deacon in the Presbyterian Church
. Board Member of Council of Clergywomen of Metropolitan Detroit
