Dr. Davis completed her BSN at Howard University and her MS and PhD at Emory University School of Nursing and Laney Graduate School. She was a Yale-Howard Scholar/trainee, and this inspired her to pursue doctoral studies at Emory along with a sincere passion to assist vulnerable populations with unmet care needs and close the gaps in health care resulting from disparities. She has worked several years as a primary care nurse and case manager with a sub-specialty in heart failure (HF) care and chronic conditions. Her interests in this population developed early on in her career where she practiced in outpatient case management for the care and long-term management of patients with chronic conditions including respiratory disorders, diabetes, coronary artery disease, and HF. She serves as a nurse volunteer and care coordinator for Good Samaritan Health Center while working as an Assistant Clinical Professor and Teaching Fellow with Emory University School of Nursing.
