Currently enrolled in Fuller Theological Seminary, Doris is specializing in pastoral care and counseling. Her primary goals for entering seminary were to think through her beliefs system, to deepen her own reasoned faith, and to prepare herself to help others who have been sexually abused or find themselves in pain and anguish within an urban church environment. She is licensed to preach in her local church.

Doris is affiliated with Darkness to Light®, a nonprofit organization with a mission to diminish the incidence and impact of child sexual abuse. She recently completed the Stewards of ChildrenTM facilitation training program and will be conducting workshops and training programs to teach adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. Doris is also in the process of establishing a nonprofit child abuse prevention education organization. She is a member of the Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Prevention Programs.

These activities are primarily funded by real estate sales. Doris is a highly successful real estate professional who proactively establishes and fosters business relationships with people across all cultures and backgrounds.

Her previous work experience includes positions in the high-tech life sciences industry and the railroad. After a 19-year career with Union Pacific Railroad, executive management guru Peter Drucker took an interest in her and gave her a career makeover that was featured in the Los Angeles Times. The story of her transition from railroad business executive to high-tech life sciences was featured in U.S. News and World Report.

Doris holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in social science from California State University, Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and Master of Science in Advanced Administration from Claremont Graduate University.
