My name is Denise Alvarado and I am currently a PhD candidate in Psychology Research and Evaluation at Walden University. Fifteen years will have lapsed between my first degree in Human Services, my second degree in Cultural Anthropology, my third degree in Clinical Psychology, and the icing on the proverbial academic cake, my PhD. I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home as a graduate research assistant, an independent consultant, and freelance mystical artist. I love to write and have an opinion on just about everything. I love hearing from people so if you read something that strikes a cord for good or bad, feel free to drop me a line at dreamtimefriend@Lcom.net. I hope to hear from you!
