Hi! My name is TyLeshia Gilbert. I graduated from Capella University obtaining a Master's in Marriage & Family Counseling Therapy in December 2022. I have an associate degree and bachelor's degree in health administration, as well as a master's degree in psychology. I’m currently a student at Capella enrolled in the PhD General Psychology program. I was inducted into Delta Kappa in early 2021. I volunteered to take on the role of the Elections Committee Chair. During my first election, I was elected as the Executive Vice President later that year and resigned from the ECC position. I was elected President of DK in November of 2022 and began my term January 2023. Also, I am a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success as well. Aside from that, I am a mother of three. I have been with my hubby for 16 years who's supports me along my journey. I have a 15-year-old son; a 14-year-old daughter; and my youngest daughter is 9 years old. My oldest was diagnosed with Autism at a young age and is excelling in high school and is independent. He overcome obstacles and continues to move forward. My 14-year-old daughter is a first-degree Black Belt in Taekwondo and multi-talented. The youngest personality is out of this world. She is so full of life. As we're raising our children to be upstanding citizens and to achieve everything their heart desires, we're doing our role as their parents to guide them and root them on!
There was a time in my life when I felt like I lost myself. I was the mom and student, but what about TyLeshia? That’s when I knew that I had to have a balance within incorporating who I am. I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, writing, and working on music. My professional titles include MFT and Certified Prolonged Exposure Therapist. Having balance and a great support system helps keep me centered and focused. I know that it may appear there’s a lot on my plate but creating balance allows me to compartmentalize and practice self-care, which is important. To keep going and never give up no matter what curveball life may throw your way!

Hi Delta Kappa Pi Chapter! My name is Luzmary Gonzalez, and I am originally from Miami but currently reside in Tampa, Florida, with my children, husband, parents, and schnauzer. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Florida National University. In addition, I earned a year of research experience at Fielding University, from which I received a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Clinical Psychology. I am starting my first practicum/internship in April 2023 at Capella University for Marriage and Family Therapy. The road has led me to be part of this extraordinary team Pi Chapter of Delta Kappa, and I am thrilled about the growth this leadership role will bring. I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, listening to music, and researching new information about mental disorders. As I prepare to start the face-to-face experience marriage and family therapy program has provided the skills necessary to guide me in integrating intervention crisis, diversity, assessments, ethics, clinical disposition, and identity. My career goals include obtaining a marriage and family therapist license and pursuing a Ph.D. to get the highest level of education focusing on suicide prevention, couples therapy, and mentorship. As the Chapter’s Vice President, I aim to mentor those students who need guidance in the program and the field. Also, I would like to implement ways to make the information about different subjects more accessible to all Capella students planning or entering the practicum/internship process. In the interim, I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the Executive Board, Pi Chapter members, and be the new Vice President for the Pi Chapter of Delta Kappa at Capella University for the next two years, so thank you all!
Hello Delta Kappa Pi members and alumni. My name is Mack Sims and I am originally from Madison Wisconsin. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in Sociology and Family Studies. During my tenure at UWEC, I was a teacher's assistant in the Sociology department, a mentor for the Blugold's Beginner's Program, and a part of the university's football team. I began working with children and their families in 2015 and have continued to expand my knowledge by enrolling in the Marriage and Family Therapy program here at Capella University. I am currently finishing up the program and set to graduate in March 2024. I have been a part of Delta Kappa Pi since August 2022 and I'm thrilled about my new position as the Membership Vice President! One goal that I have while serving as the Membership VP, is to increase member and alumni networking opportunities and improve membership recruitment/engagement. I look forward to growing in this position and connecting with you all over the upcoming term.,
Hello there! My name is Ra'Shunda Adams and I'm excited to serve you all as the new Program Vice President of the Pi Chapter of Delta Kappa! I live in a west Houston suburb with my husband and three kiddos. Therapy is my second profession, and I have always had a passion for mental health and wellness. I am a certified premarital counselor and provide marriage coaching with my husband. I love working with people to help identify how the family systems that they exist in, influence their behavior and their relationship with others. My goal during my term of service is to create events that are engaging, enlightening, and aid in the growth and development of marriage and family therapists. I hope to expand the reach of our chapter through the execution of new program ideas and our service project. I am excited for this opportunity! It's going to be a great ride!

Greetings current and potential members of Delta Kappa Pi! I am an older learner (in
my 6 th decade; BA from Duke in ‘79) entering my internship period in the fall of 2023
with Capella’s Marriage and Family Therapy program. I am very excited about this next
period of skill formation and development in the program and look forward to my own
continued learning and growth as I work with those seeking therapy. I currently reside
in Broward County, Florida but will move to and seek licensure in Virginia (Norfolk) in
the near future. As a retired U.S. Navy Officer and pilot, my natural though not
exclusive demographic will be military members and families. I am also very interested
in working with those in non-traditional family dynamics.
As a former business owner and Director in a large, global non-profit, I’ve had
experience with board development and fiscal responsibilities that fit well with the
responsibilities as board treasurer. It does not take an accounting degree – far from it –
so if you are interested in exploring service in this role in the future, please reach out to
me.
Scholarships! This is the greatest aspect of the position – overseeing the scholarship
program for Delta Kappa Pi Chapter and distributing three checks annually to the
awardees. If you are interested in being involved in our Scholarship Committee that the
Treasurer chairs, please send me an email – we are in the process of soliciting
applications and will review and award by the end of each calendar year.
