Dr. Dominique Lawson, PsyD, was born in Decatur, IL, and grew up in Normal, IL. She graduated from University Of Cincinnati with a B.S. in Psychology, and received her hard-earned doctorate in Psychology from Midwestern University in Downers Grove, IL. Throughout her education in Normal, IL, Dominique strived to excel in her studies including advanced placement classes at Normal Community West High School. She also has been a natural advisor to her friends and family, being a trusted ally to her peers throughout her life. Always the bubbly and compassionate spirit in her circle of friends, her degree in psychology is a perfect fit for personality traits. She is a much needed addition to the field of psychology in that a quality increase in diversity and inclusion is a benefit to the communities in which Dominique will serve, and the African-American community in particular. This scholarship was established in 2020 by her mother Rhonda (Singleton) Johnson in honor of her achievements.
