WORK EXPERIENCE:
After graduating from College with her Bachelors Degree, Stacey obtained a position as a Detention Child Care Counselor at the Montgomery County Detention Center located in Norristown, PA. She worked full time in that position until November 1997 when she was hired as a Drug Treatment Specialist in the Federal Bureau of Prisons – FCI Fort Dix, NJ. After a very brief separation from her work at the Montgomery County Youth Center, and while continuing her full time work in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Stacey returned on part-time bases to the Montgomery County Detention Center and worked as a Youth and Family Advocate in the Shelter Care Unit.
In October 2000, Stacey relocated to Washington, DC Metropolitan area to begin her new position as a Substance Abuse Case Manager for the Drug Court Unit of the District of Columbia Pretrial Services Agency. Stacey left that position in October 2002, to begin her current career as a United States Federal Probation Officer. Stacey’s position has allowed her the opportunity to work in Washington, DC for several years before transferring to the District of Maryland Probation Office.
While working as a United States Probation Officer for the District of Columbia, Stacey handled a specialized case load and was solely responsible for the supervision of Pretrial Defendants for the Eastern District of Virginia, Maryland, and several other Districts. In the District of Maryland Stacey served as the Violators Sanction Center Coordinator for the Greenbelt Office. She contributed to the revision and re-development of the current Sanction Center Policy.
RECOGNITIONS AND AWARDS:
Stacey graduated from the Montgomery County Community College Magna Cum Lauda in 1996 and 1997. She also graduated from Cheyney University and Liberty University with high honors.
In 1994, Stacey’s poem I Am A Rose was published by the National Library of Poetry in a book entitled At Day’s End.
In 2008-2009, Stacey was recognized by the Cambridge Who’s Who and honored as a Lifetime Member. In 2009-2010, Stacey was recognized as a VIP Member of the Cambridge Who’s Who Registry of Executives, Professionals, and Entrepreneurs.
In addition to these honors, Stacey has received countless other awards, certificates, and acknowledgments throughout her academic and professional career. Stacey has participated in the Miss Pennsylvania Modeling & Beauty Pageant as well as the Miss Black World Modeling and Beauty Pageant. She served as President Elect for the National Counsel of Negro Women and she has been an active member of the following organizations: American Legion Auxiliary; Fraternal Order of Police (FOP); Federal Probation and Pretrial Officers Association (FPPOA); and the Federal Law Enforcement Officer’s Association (FLEOA).
PERSONAL BACKGROUND:
Stacey is a single parent raising a 5 year old son, Thomas Jerome Carter and twin nephews: Dillon Jerome and Donte Jamar Mitchell. While pursuing her Doctoral degree, this amazing woman of God has managed to keep the three boys actively engaged in a variety of activities including: church, music (piano, drum & guitar), swimming, cub scouts, basketball, football and martial arts. Stacey and the three boys are currently students at God Squad Martial Arts located in Columbia, MD. Stacey has obtained her purple belt, the twins their green belt, and the youngest, his orange belt in Taekwondo.
GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS:
Stacey reported that her personal goal is open her own psychology practice which will promote resiliency and assist people in their recovery from mental health, substance abuse, behavioral and emotional disorders. The focus or mission of the practice would be to incorporate faith-based practices to preserve the promise of good quality of life for all people, and to help clients identify and work on behaviors, feelings or attitudes which may be destructive, negative or harmful, in an effort to promote positive adjustment in community as well as progress forward in life with purpose and direction.
Stacey is an ambitions, goal oriented, focused and determined young women who has made a significant contribution to our society and our community through her work, as well as her willingness and ability to help other people. I can’t think of a person more deserving of the honor of being inducted on to the Wissahickon Wall of Fame.
