Since she decided to return to college to complete her education, Mrs. Christine Li’Chele’ Moore has availed herself to a vast amount of information through research. She earned the Bachelor’s degree (summa cum laude) in Human Services with concentration in Early Childhood from Springfield College in 2010. Two years later, she earned the Master’s degree (magna cum laude) also in Human Services with concentration in Mental Health, also from Springfield College.

She is currently in the Ph.D. program through Walden University, seeking a degree in Human Services with a specialization in Family Studies and Intervention Strategies. Her expected date of graduation is 2015.

“I am so excited to share some of the invaluable research that I have been doing on the family units,” she said.

With that in mind, she will be hosting an event on Saturday, September 28, 2013, 10 a. m.-12 noon at the Lee Davis Neighborhood Service Center.

Entitled “Blending Families of Tampa Bay,” Mrs. Moore, who is also the author of “Blended Family Dilemmas: Are You Making It Or Breaking It?”, the event will share information on some steps for consideration before combining families; and she especially wants to focus on the dilemmas that are destroying the family unit.

Her invitation is open to the public and anyone wishing to contact her may call (813) 531-5380, or email blendmyfambs@yahoo.com.

Mrs. Moore has worked with youth and families over the years and is a Registered Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
