Marlisha is passionate about providing high quality care to underserved populations. When she's not studying, Marlisha enjoys traveling the world and providing healthcare internationally to populations in need. 

In her own words,

"My favorite thing about being a Nurse Practitioner student is learning to provide primary care to my patients. The biggest challenge of my career is the lack of interdisciplinary collaboration when providing care to patients.

Professional style is important to me because it is a way for me to express myself while being distinguished. I feel style is a visual resume, it often gives a first impression of who I am."
