Katie Grimm: AmBT Project & Research Project Coordinating Lead
Katie Grimm is a Public Health major, who is extremely passionate about health sciences and health and safety awareness. Katie believes public awareness of health and safety is extremely important in all communities. Therefore, her goal is to become a nurse where she can both help and educate others on health issues that directly impact public health and health disparities.
Katies’ motivation to pursue the profession of nursing is multifaceted. For as long as she can remember, she has known she wanted a career in the health field. At the University of Alabama, she was drawn to and studied public health with the goal of using that experience to better understand and possibly improve healthcare systems. She became involved in our research group her sophomore year and began studying how telemedicine could be used in ambulances to improve healthcare while patients were transported to hospitals from remote locations. She has worked with us for three years and during that time had the opportunity to present at multiple research conferences, develop national and international conference poster presentations, and have co-authorship on a systematic literature review. In her final year, she served as the research project coordinating lead. With this position, she coordinated meeting agendas and minutes, updated the team roster, helped lead team discussion, attended additional team meetings, and led a team meeting. Katie is currently in the process of getting accepted into nursing schools with hopes to stay involved with our team after graduation.
