Doctoral Candidate
Banti C. V. Zehyoue is a native of Monrovia, Liberia and enrolled as a doctoral student in the KSU SCMPD program in January of 2017. Banti completed her undergraduate studies at Southern University, Baton Rouge with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology graduating with honors. She later earned her Masters of Social Work from Louisiana State University.
Banti enrolled in the INCM PhD program because she would like to intersect her education and experiences as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with conflict resolution, with particular interest in post conflict reconciliation. She is also interested in evaluating successful strategies for integration that could be vital in helping parents and children who experience challenges in the United States after entering as immigrants or refugees.
Being a survivor of the civil war in Liberia, Banti understands the effects of conflict on the individual, families, countries, and cultures. She has been a first-hand witness to the atrocities of war, but also a firm believer in an educational and treatment system that can help one recover from trauma and contribute to society in meaningful ways. As a clinician, she has the empathy and compassion necessary in working with victims of trauma.
Prior to her graduate experience, Banti worked for over ten years in direct practice providing counseling and supportive services in hospitals, schools, community agencies and non-profit organizations. She has worked in crisis supports, refugee resettlement and adoption services.
