This degree has opened up so many doors for me that would have stayed shut if I had not made the decision to return to college.

I understand the need for the psychological skillset and the importance of psychology in the Black community. I have been exposed to a lot of things, and I’d love to be able to sit down and talk to some of these players as they transition through life and help them navigate their own lives.

Getting my degree is the first step to leading from the front and being a combat veteran focused on giving counseling to my community.

Taking classes online has helped me greatly because I am a single mother who also cares for my nephew full-time while his mother’s at work. Online classes have allowed me to spend quality time with the children while gaining an outstanding education.

The education I received allowed me to transform a dated community resource into a critical, innovative organization set to meet the 21st century needs of the small business community.
