Her career spans over several fields. From teaching Anatomy, Biology, Physiology, at the college level, to working as Project Coordinator at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore within the Department of Physical Therapy. Additionally, she has worked in research, as a Senior Research Program Coordinator, at the Johns Hopkins Center on Aging and Health in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Ray has also worked as an Executive Director of an agency that focused on the dis-aggregation of data for minority groups. There she educated Congressional and Senatorial staff regarding the importance of funding for minority groups in order to improve health issues.

Dr. Ray has the distinguished honor of being named among Marquis’ Who’s Who in America; Marquis’ Who’s Who of American Women; Marquis Who’s Who in the World and finally Marquis’ Who’s Who on the Web between 2006 - 2008.

Dr. Ray has been a blog contributor to renowned, mental health speaker, Hakeem Rahim’s weekly blog. Dr. Ray has contributed to several publications that has focused on mental health. Including her book entitled, “Ph.D.’s Have Bipolar Too: My Story.” She wrote her book, as a result of briefly coming into contact with the criminal justice system, as a result of not having access to her medicine and subsequently falling into a mental crisis, which occurred in the summer of 2011. She is also the author of, “Poems Inspired by Mother” and “A Celebration of Life”, which was inspired by the sudden onset of her mother’s illness and subsequently given two days to live due to cancer. Yet, by the Grace of God, her mother lived 2 and a half months. Yet, through it all, she never gave up on Jesus Christ.

Currently, Dr. Ray is a Behavior Therapist at a behavior health company in Northern Virginia. For the past two years, she served on the Board of Directors, for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, in Prince William County, Virginia.
