About Destinee

Hello Parents!! My name is Destinee T and I am from Memphis, TN. I graduated from The University of Tennessee: Knox December of 2022. I am returning to the university to take several courses as I purse the dentistry field to become an orthodontist. I am a dedicated and detail-oriented individual with a BA in Psychology, while minoring in child and family studies and biology. I have extensive experience working with children in various capacities, including my role as a counselor at Wesley's House, where I oversaw daily lesson plans and activities to enhance children's social and motor skills. I have a proven track record of providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. My skills in crisis intervention and de-escalation, coupled with my experience as a Mental Health Crisis Specialist, equip me to handle any situation with empathy and resilience. Some fun facts about me: I LOVE to travel and have visited over 23 states. I went to Costa Rico this past January and went to the beach everyday lol. I am a family oriented person. I love traveling and planning events with my family. I have volunteered with organizations such as Big Brother Big Sister and Remote Area Medical, where I further honed my skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership.
