"The Fellowship gave us time to think about problems and come up with solutions. It was both a safe space and a push that we all can do this. We just needed the support and encouragement to help us along."

About Michelle

Michelle’s J&J Nursing Innovation Fellow Journey

When Michelle first started in the Fellowship program, she was working on research and accessibility for her MKit app. She was initially interested in the Fellowship to contribute her skills and knowledge as a nurse to improve education for healthcare providers and primary prevention youth programs. However, she ended up shifting her project to focus more on the university students she works with regularly to begin to cultivate an innovative mindset while they are still studying. From her own experience with mentorship as a nursing student, Michelle knew how important it was for her students to be exposed to innovation at the start of their careers. This culminated in an inaugural Innovate 4 Change event, that brought together interdisciplinary groups of students to develop innovative solutions to complex healthcare problems.

Michelle believes in the power of mentorship to enhance innovation at all levels of career and education. And the student group she created bears striking similarities to the comradery and community within the Fellowship program. From Michele’s perspective, the Fellowship provided her with the critical support system that she needed to flourish. She will continue to expand her program through annual hackathons, larger student cohorts and global missions, and she will carry the values of the Fellowship along with her each step of the way.
