Doris attended Delta College where she began pursuing a career in Nursing and later added Business to complete a Dual degree. As she was pursuing both degrees, she was led by her higher power to pursue a degree in Social Work to assist with healing others mentally, physically and spiritually. She graduated in 2011 with an Associate in Science and 2012 with an Associate in Arts and Marco Agreement from Delta College. Doris completed the requirements for the RN wait-list. As she sat on the wait-list she pursued a degree in Social Work at Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU). She graduated with her Bachelors of Social Work (BSW) in 2014. In 2015 Doris was accepted into the Master’s of Social Work program. At that time her wait was up for Nursing Clinicals. Having to make the hard choice between RN vs MSW, she decided to be devoted to her Master’s (higher power) plan.
While attended Michigan State she studied addictions, since that spoke to a piece of her past life. She graduated in 2017 from Michigan State University with her Master’s of Social Work and a Certificate in Addictions. She became a Limited Licensed of Social Work (LLMSW), and a Certified Advance Alcohol and Drug Counselor-CAADC) in 2017. She became a fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2019. Doris enjoys laughter, traveling, spending time with family and friends, serving others in a healthy way and most of all serving her higher power.
