After a previous healthcare career which included hospice marketing and community and professional outreach for organ donation hospital and public education with LifeLink of Georgia, I am awaiting LPC notification as a fully Licensed Counselor in Georgia. In addition to a Master’s of Counseling from Georgia State University and an undergraduate Journalism degree from The Ohio State University. Presently, my credentials include being dual-licensed as a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor in Georgia (License APC #002936.) and Licensed Professional Counselor status in Ohio (License C#1000030). As a two-year employee of Transitional Family Services as a Therapist, working for a CORE provider of Medicaid in-home and office-based mental health services, this experience has given me extensive training as an adolescent and family therapist. Once notification is received of full licensure as a Counselor, my employment focus will be specific to hospitals, non-profits, and other counseling entities. A potential career aspiration is to return to an organ procurement organization as a Family Support or Bereavement Liaison to approach and also follow-up with a family before, during and after the organ donation process. . As an undergraduate Journalism and a broadcasting major of The Ohio State University, I provide a weekly Opinion Page column for The Delaware Gazette, my hometown newspaper, specific to mental health or societal topics. Along with a passion for writing, I equally enjoy public speaking and educating audiences. Personalized LinkedIn invitations are welcome.
