Renita Wellman

I am a fulltime professor in the behavioral sciences at Keiser University. I often lecture on self-care and wellbeing. Self-care for me includes music, (I am a classically trained pianist), photography (iPhone 6s), writing and painting. Life events (including fires in California) have interrupted my work on the illustrations for my children's book, which will be a meditation and imagination book for young children.
Story is essential to well-being. The stories we tell ourselves and the stories we share.
My I/OP research was based on the power of sharing story to build confidence in the virtual team: Inspired by narrative therapist Michael White and neuroanatomical research by the impact of implicit social exclusion, I was awarded my PhD in industrial/organizational psychology at Walden University after submitting research in the application of narrative methods to virtual teams. Not that that is relevant here, but you never know who might be interested in this idea.
I am interested in developing my children's book illustrations and sense of story.
I continue to study the structure of story in movies and also write about archetypes in my blog and how these archetypes drive stories and where the story breaks down and is unsuccessful when the archetypes are not followed and honored. For example, I Robot has no archetype. If it were not for the CG there would be nothing to it.
