Genevieve C. Aguilar, MPA, BSN, RN (she/her/hers)

PhD Student in Nursing Science
University of Washington
Seattle, Washington, United States

Genevieve Aguilar
Genevieve received her BSN from Seattle University and is pursuing her PhD in Nursing Science at the University of Washington, focusing on health equity. She also has a Master's in Public and International affairs from Princeton. Nursing is a second career for Genevieve. She spent 16 years working in policy, advocacy, and community organizing. She was drawn to nursing by the health disparities she saw in the healthcare system. Her desire to bring a family-centered approach to care inspired her to become a pediatric nurse. As a research fellow at Seattle Children’s Hospital, she surveyed nurses hospital-wide about the barriers nurses face when providing interpretation and translation services. Her research and desire to make a difference for the Latinx/e community compelled her to pursue her PhD. She currently serves on the nursing faculty of Heritage University in Toppenish, WA on the land of the Yakima Nation. She hopes to continue serving this community through her teaching and research. Genevieve is bilingual, bicultural and was born and raised in the borderland of El Paso, Texas. She came to the Pacific Northwest twenty years ago and has two sons, three parakeets, and a 5 lb chihuahua named Rex.
