HOST
Alissa Brown, BSN, MSN, RN
is a clinical nurse educator from the University of Utah Health.
She has been working in the health care industry for almost 12
years, and started her nursing career as a med-surg bedside nurse
on an Ortho, Trauma, and Surgical Specialty Unit. It was through
that experience in the med-surg unit where she discovered a passion
for education and pursued a master’s degree. She is a lifelong
learner and loves to teach. Born and raised in Salt Lake
City, Utah, she's not all work, and definitely enjoys play! She
loves to travel and tries to plan as many vacations each year as
she can with family and friends. Alissa loves to read, listen to
podcasts, and geek out to documentaries and crime shows on the
weekends. She's a total fair-weather fan when it comes to Utes
Football, but will cheer in all the right places, or get mad when
her husband tells her to during a game. Alissa is looking forward
to conversations together on this AMSN podcast!
