She developed the Road Mapping your Goals course, which she currently trains in and outside of correctional institutions. Summerlee is presently working on training for Effective Communication Skills in Hostile Environments.

Although Summerlee has achieved many accomplishments in her life, it has not always been easy. Throughout her life, she experienced many adversities, from being sexually, mentally, emotionally, and physically abused to attempting to commit suicide and eventually serving a seven-year prison sentence in the Ohio Reformatory for Women. Summerlee realized very quickly that she was on a downward spiral to self-destruction. During her incarceration, she knew that she had to redirect her thoughts and purpose for doing things differently. Since her homecoming, she has dedicated her life to helping those who have had similar traumas. Summerlee works on many prevention initiatives throughout Ohio. Her passion is to help reduce recidivism by addressing Renewed citizen needs.
