Public Health Education
Ms. Stinson earned a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education in 2004 and a Master’s in Public Health in 2006 here at UNCG.
As an undergraduate, Ms. Stinson participated in research opportunities and went on to publish her research findings, a very rare accomplishment for an undergraduate in a practice-oriented degree. This positioned her very well for her future career in academia.
She has spent the past seven years dedicating her professional life to preventing alcohol and substance abuse among college students, first at the University of Georgia and now at UNC Charlotte where she is the Substance Abuse Program Coordinator in the Center for Wellness Promotion.
She is the co-investigator on an NIH funded grant designed to reduce high-risk drinking among college students. Her work has a major impact on collegiate health and wellness; she has helped numerous students through state-of-the-art programming as well as through developing and evaluating programs that can be replicated across the country.
She is truly setting the pace for all public health educators who come after her.
