She earned her undergraduate degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maryland College Park, Maryland; she continued her studies at Howard University where she earned Master and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology. After receiving her call to ministry, she enrolled at the Wilbur Waters School of Religion and Theological Studies, where she received a Bachelor, Master and Doctorates of Divinity and Theology. 

She later became the Dean of Wilbur Waters School of Religion and Theological Studies for a period of ten years, and she presently serves as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors.
