Education

Master of Arts in Professional Counseling
Liberty University
Liberty University’s Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is a specialized training program that prepares you for licensure and becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. I was trained to work with individuals, families, and groups in treating mental health and behavioral problems. This degree enhanced my understanding of human psychology through field-tested techniques and best practices for promoting the mental health and holistic wellness of clients in diverse communities.
2003-2007
Bachelor of Arts in Psyhology
Minor in Sociology
UNC Charlotte
My Psychology undergrad had an emphasis on a broad acquaintance with the behavioral sciences. The subject matter is preparatory to a career in psychology either in basic research and teaching, or in any number of professional applications to various human problems. I specialized in IO Psychology. The sociology minor emphasizes sociological theory and research with substantive applications. The minor builds on theory and methodology including social psychology, race and ethnic relations, and the family.
