My name is Dr. Shana Nicholson. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Fairmont State University in Fairmont, West Virginia. I majored in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology.

Finally, I have a PhD in Human Services with a specialization in Counseling Studies.

I have served as a senior quick decision disability case examiner for Disability Determination Services for Social Security.

I have studied extensively in this area and look forward to sharing my experiences with you.

In my free time, I am a world traveler and have spent time in Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America with much desire to go back soon. I am an avid reader of criminal investigative and sci-fi crime books. I love spending time with my son, family and friends. Currently, I reside in Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia!
