Randee C. Greenwald
PhD, PHNA- BC, FNP-BC
Dr. Greenwald has been interested in community and population health since the beginning of her nursing career. Inspired by her Peace Corps Service as a Community Development Volunteer in Cameroon, she pursued a nursing degree and worked in various community and public health roles before attaining further education as a nurse practitioner. She then spent several years working in corrections and volunteering her services at a free clinic, and working in student health before returning to public health. Wishing to share her love for vulnerable populations, she came to New Mexico State University in 2014 and has been teaching didactic and clinical courses focusing in this area to both undergraduate and graduate students.
