Destin is a fifth-year Counseling Psychology doctoral candidate from College Park, GA. He earned his B.S. in Psychology and Minored in African American Studies at the University of Georgia and his M.S. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kentucky. Destin's research interests broadly include racial socialization, social justice, mental well-being in Black communities, and Black American cultural appreciation. Specifically, I am interested in producing research that appreciates Black American culture and uses the tools within the culture to increase mental well-being. Through the lens of Liberation, Psychology, and interdisciplinary collaboration, Destin's primary goal is to improve Black Americans' spiritual, physical, and mental well-being while appreciating their traditions, culture, and history.
