Kelley Mcginnis

Kelley (she/her, 2022 Cohort) moved from Austin, TX to pursue a BS in Biomedical Sciences and an MS in Nutrition with a concentration in physiology from Texas A&M University. Following graduate school, she received a Doctor of Pharmacy through Texas Tech University and went on to complete a PGY-1 residency at Nebraska Medicine where she currently works as a clinical pharmacist. Throughout her education, she has been involved in strategic planning courses to develop action plans for hypothetical bioterrorism events. As a healthcare professional, she has continued to engage in global health initiatives by providing international medical relief and studying disease transmission in third world countries. Kelley has always been interested in pandemic origins and biological threats, but her career has provided a greater understanding of the complexities of the healthcare system. From risk mitigation to treatment strategies, especially in a world of constant drug shortages, she is eager to consider these factors in this next phase of education.
