Dr. Whitmore is an adjunct assistant professor in Walden University’s School of Human Services. She holds a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration: Educational Leadership and Graduate Education from Liberty University, complemented by master’s degrees in counseling and therapy and a bachelor’s in psychology.

Since 1995, Dr. Whitmore has been dedicated to the human services field, driven by a mission of compassion and service. Guided by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s belief that life’s most urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?" Upholding the core principles of the National Organization for Human Services, she is committed to serving her colleagues and students with empathy, dignity, and a profound respect for every individual.

Dr. Whitmore maintains active memberships in several premier professional organizations, including the APA, ACA, and NOHS. Her research on adjunct faculty burnout, inspired by her dissertation, "Feeling the Burn," drives her continued focus on addressing occupational stress and anxiety within higher education and beyond.
