FULL BIO
I presently work for the State of Oklahoma monitoring compliance per the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. It is an interesting position that is never the same day twice. I am also pursuing my PsyD in order to assist companies in incorporating employees with mental illnesses rather than shunning them. Clarification: depression, and mild/controlled bi-polar disorder. I will be completing my doctorate's in 2013 and will launch my consulting business after.
