Kristy Miyashita, GCHS
"I want to reframe everyone's mindset that nursing and human security can't go together, because they can and should. I think there's this very strong, preconceived notion that nurses are at the bedside and we're just clinicians," says Kristy Miyashita, a current master's student pursuing Global Conflict and Human Security degree. "I want to reframe that mindset."
