Approximately 10 years later I returned to the Fayetteville area and re-established ties to Fayetteville State University.

I'm proud to announce that in just two years I am part of the May 2010 Master's of Social Work graduating class. The road was not easy and this time around I nurtured the needs of two children. However, my faith, family and again the wonderful faculty at Fayetteville State University allowed me to tell another success story One of the many things we do as social workers is empower and encourage. It is my wish that my story as a student at Fayetteville State University does just that.
