I am a native Patersonian. In 2001, I received my BSW degree from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a double minor in Public Policy and African American Studies. Afterward, I entered the MSW program with Advanced Standing at Yeshiva University. In 2004, I received my Master's degree in Social Work, and in 2022, I earned my Ph.D. in Social Welfare from Yeshiva University-Wurzweiler School of Social Work. The research study topic was "The Phenomenological Exploration of Academic Re-engagement for High School Completion." The qualitative method was employed to examine students who leave high school before graduation and choose service-learning as a means of high school completion. Professionally, I hold credentials as a School Social Worker, Supervision in Field Instruction (SIFI) supervisor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). My practice experience has been in the areas of substance abuse with/without medication assistance, mental health, and education/special education. Currently, I am a Program Coordinator, Adjunct Professor, Community Advocate, Activist, and Organizer, Founder/Executive Director of Balm In Gilead Community Services, Inc., a non-profit organization in the City of Newark, Chief Executive Officer of Making Connections Professional Services LLC, and a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc 💙🤍🕊️ My professional goal is to formulate and implement policies to address the systemic issues related to racism, poverty, education, violence, and health care. Also, advocate and articulate the negative effect of those issues to decision-makers for providing a better understanding of the impact/outcome of those decisions upon individuals, families, and communities. #advocate #activist #organizer who talks about #love #wellness #antiviolence #wellbeing #socialwork #mentalhealth #education #health #antiracism #poverty View more posts
