She also was a school social worker and manager of community-based programs in some of the most economically and challenging areas in Harlem and Queens County, N.Y.
Bent-Goodley has a Ph.D. in social policy, planning and analysis from Columbia University, a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from Queens College of the City University of New York.
