Happy Holiday's 🦃🎄🍹😍😘 from my family to yours 😘

Yesterday was full of obstacles, but I made it to my destination and accomplished my initial goal. I used to pray for opportunities to travel and get paid for something I love doing.

HAPPY SOCIAL WORK MONTH

This week I celebrated the 7th anniversary from when I submitted my first research proposal and presented at NASW-LA in Baton Rouge, LA.

Dissertation Blues

Make sure you don’t become a servant to what you’re trying to master. Michael D. Gatson I had a conversation with a friend and mentor last night. I shared that there are a few things I’ve been trying really hard to master lately; one of those things is my dissertation. I have been asked several times when I am graduating. I will be graduating when all three of my committee members sign my dissertation as complete. I have been working on my dissertation while maintaining a full-time federal career, serving… Read More »Dissertation Blues
