Rashawn earned a master’s degree in Education in School Counseling from Malone University. He also earned a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Youth Development from Kent State University. He is currently a Professional School Counselor for a public school in Ohio. In this episode, he discusses how he found the field of HDFS and his professional experiences to date. As is true for all interviewees on this podcast, Rashawn’s views are his own as a private citizen and do not reflect the views of his current, former, or future employers.

If you have recommendations for HDFS or other family science alumni to interview, please reach out to me at HDFSCareers.com. Don’t worry if they are not working in a job that would normally be considered “in the field.” I am interested in hearing a variety of stories--especially if they are working outside of academia.
