I started my collegiate education at Cleveland State Community College where I received my Associates of Science degree in Psychology. I then enrolled at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where I graduated Summa Cum Laude as an Innovations Scholar with a Bachelor of Science and Highest Honors in Psychology. I received my Masters in Art Therapy Counseling at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. I'm a member of four honors societies: Phi Kappa Phi (ΦΚΦ), Phi Theta Kappa (ΦΘΚ), Psi Chi (ΨΧ), and the Golden Key International Honour Society.
