Lawrence has degrees in philosophy, theology and nursing, and a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from Johnson University School of Business and Public Leadership, Tennessee, USA. Lawrence is a registered nurse with passion and extensive years of experience in the areas of mental health and addictions. As a rational and compassionate caregiver, the philosophy of servant leadership and collaborative problem solving, inform and influence the lens of my practice. As a curious investigator, I perceive phenomenology as both a way of life, and an appropriate nursing research methodology. I appreciate the uniqueness of individual experience. I believe that everyone has a narrative and a story to tell, and as such, through thoughtful deliberations, insights could be obtained and shared.
