Hey, everyone, I DID IT. Here is my commencement video To see me walk across that stage go 35 seconds into the video. Thank you to all my family. My Dad, his girlfriend, my Mom, stepfather, my brother and his wife were all in attendance. Most especially thank you to my rock, my husband and co-parent Dr. Philip Terry-Smith who also graduated with his Doctorate from Walden University (Circa 1992). After 3 long years of study and hard work, I graduated with my Doctorate in Public Health from Walden University in Minneapolis Minnesota. It's now Dr. J. I really feel solidified in my education, by saying out loud and proud I am an expert in my field.
