Biography
After over 40 years in Pastoral/Spiritual Care Leadership & 30 years in academia, Dr. Pressey moved into semi-retirement, yet the Lord spoke and said, get up! I need you, & I’m moving you into a new arena. I yielded to the Lord’s leading by walking by FAITH in spite of managing chronic health challenges into becoming an advocate for Seniors in my community. In 2021, I started doing Seniors workshops at the Senior Centers, such as the Romantic Scammer, the Gospel Nutritionist, & the Perfecting GRACE Banner Flag Liturgical Dance Ministry. Then in 2024 I returned to the aging board as a member on the Council of Aging in Charles County, Maryland. I am the Vice President & the Grief Committee Chair that designed and launched a program called REVIVE: An all-inclusive Grief Support Group for the senior centers. It was then that I was asked to join the AARP Speakers Bureau to provide virtual workshops. This opportunity expanded my presenting topics, skills, and expanded my areas of expertise. The additional topics includes; LIFE After Loss, Six Pillars of Brain Health, & Social Security, You Earned It. IT’s NOT OVER UNTIL GOD SAYS IT OVER!!!
