After attending the local high school in my hometown of Deptford, New Jersey, Dr, White completed her BA at Douglass College, and later a MSW at Rutgers University. She attained her Ph.D in Human Services at Walden University in July 2015. Her dissertation titled: Shared Trauma: A Critical Phenomenological Investigation of African American Teachers, was nominated for Outstanding Dissertation, 2015. After serving in various social service positions, including program manager for the New Jersey Children’s Trust Fund, Dr. White became the first director of two non-profit technical assistance centers in Trenton, New Jersey, the Support Center for Non-Profit Management, and TASK Center at John S. Watson Institute for Public Policy.

She is a member of both the National Organization for Human Services (NOHS) and the National Association of Black Social Workers (NABSW) and inducted into both Tau Upsilon Alpha-Human Services Honor Society and Phi Alpha-Social Work Honor Society. A committed life-long leaner, Dr. White continues to research in her areas of interest, collective, community, cultural, and cumulative trauma.
