Faculty Bio
Brandy began her nursing career in 2005 after completion of the first year of UCSF's MEPN program. She worked at UCSF Medical Center on a kidney, liver, and pancreas transplant unit while completing her master's degree in Advanced Community Health and International Nursing. After four and a half years as a bedside RN, Brandy left UCSF to start her journey as a nurse educator at SMU. Brandy's interest in nursing was sparked by her eight years of experience as a veterinary technician. When she's not teaching, eating, or sleeping she enjoys rehearsing and performing with San Francisco's Soulforce Dance Company.
