Additionally, she became a graduate occupational therapy student at Eastern Kentucky University and matriculated from the University in 1996, with a Master of Science degree. Furthermore, when she enrolled at Trevecca Nazarene University in 2003, it was apparent that Dr. Smart would be a professional student. With a desire to help individuals who suffer from psychiatric diagnoses, she majored in counseling, pursued a Master of Arts degree in Counseling, and graduated in 2005. During her tutelage at Trevecca Nazarene University, Dr. Smart simultaneously served as an Assistant Professor at Tennessee State University, where she worked for 20 years. Finally, in 2018, Dr. Smart received a Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Recent training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Currently, as the owner of SmartMove Counseling and Therapeutic Services LLC, she is living her dream of providing services to individuals with mental health needs and feels called by God and blessed to have this opportunity to serve humanity for its highest good!
