With over 19 years of clinical experience, I understand the challenges and the importance of the recovery process and public health education to dispel stigma and fear around treatable illnesses. My faith in action has positioned me in the field of public health at a Federally Qualified Health Center as the Director of Community Health Training Alliance. In my current role, I create, collaborate, teach, and organize educational events and professional development training for leaders, educators, and direct care workers specific to public health topics around HIV, Trauma, Mental Health, and other health-related issues.

I previously worked as the Clinical Director for a substance abuse program for women, where I provided trauma treatment services and promoted self-determination, self-efficacy, recovery support, and education. As a clinician, I am interested in spirituality and creative therapies and utilize an integrative approach to treatment to encourage, empower, teach, and mend relationships. My unique ability to inspire others from various cultures and diverse backgrounds has afforded me many opportunities to share my gift of knowledge to affect change towards healing.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to present at various conferences locally and abroad and have consulted with nonprofit organizations for executive and administrative training. One of my most humbling and transformative experiences was stepping out on faith to host and coordinate women empowerment conferences in the Bahamas, South Carolina, and Philadelphia. Women were uplifted to move beyond their emotional pain into a healing process to find purpose and cultivate a meaningful life of love, peace, and success.
