Whitney has had her share of trials to be sure. Like April, Whitney is the first in her family to graduate with a college degree with a Master's of Science in Nursing Administration. Her story and experience has touched the lives of many, not just because of its bizarre and unfortunate circumstances but because people find healing, growth, and relatability in it. Having begun her life like many with a career she loved and a husband and children she adored, Whitney was relaxed in the peace of her simple existence. Life seemed to be going exactly as she had planned. Never in her wildest dreams would she have anticipated it taking a turn for the worst. Whitney and her husband were together for 10 years. Sadly, infidelity and abuse became part of their story, and in order to save herself they divorced. It doesn't end there. For reasons in which we will never know, her husband shot and killed himself shortly thereafter, leaving her with many unanswered questions and a sea of confusion. We don't end there either... moving on seemed like an unthinkable challenge, however with her amazing support system behind her she was able to begin seeking meaningful relationships that provided strength, self-awareness, and the hopes of a new life. One would think she'd figured it out, but sadly tragedy struck again when the person who she had found solace in, hung and killed himself, as well. Whitney has found cathartic release in aligning herself with those who continue to support her as she journeys on a path of healing. Her tell-all entitled, Death After Death is set to release in 2024 and provide a detailed account of her tragic experiences and how she's overcome immense grief.

"Despite my trauma, I have been able to certify and train over 200 students as State-Certified Nurse Aides and over 100 students as Registered Dental Assistants." -- WHITNEY PRESAS
