Bachelor of Social Work Degree from University of Texas Arlington. Obtained Bachelor of Social Work License (LBSW). Realizing an equivalent passion to support women with trauma, Shalesse and I established Life with Strength Energy and Power (LifeWSnAP). Assisting women with an awareness of trauma, learn their past does not define who they currently are or could become is life changing. Designing creative aspects for each session assisted me in releasing my own trauma. Career experience includes elderly, incarcerated and re-entry women and men, homeless, substance abuse and the severely mentally ill populations.

Graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work Degree from Park University. Continued education at The University of Missouri-Kansas City earning a Masters of Social Work Degree. My Capstone Project focused on developing a women's group dedicated to trauma and depression.
