he/him Safford, AZ 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 I graduated from University of Arizona with a BSHS in Physiology as well as a BA in Religious Studies, then went to medical school at West Virginia University for three semesters before my own mental and physical health limited me from finishing. I moved to China where I worked as a first grade homeroom teacher and returned to the US as a pharmacy technician while I applied to schools again. Ultimately, I graduated from Yale as a Family Nurse Practitioner with a Global Health Concentration. 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 While in nursing school I was involved with the executive board of the student-run free clinic as the Pharmacy Director, the {W}holy Queer group for queer students of any (or no) faith tradition, and planning multiple interprofessional queer events. I previously served on the executive board of the LGBTQ+ Center of Bullhead City, AZ. For about a year I was the Co-General Manager of OutLoud Sports in Las Vegas, and I continue to travel to queer kickball tournaments across the US 3-4 times a year. Currently, I serve as the Tourism Committee Chair on the Graham County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and I am a monthly radio/podcast guest on Voice of the Valley KATO 1230 AM to discuss health topics. I recently earned my HIV Specialist credential from the American Academy of HIV Medicine, the only provider to do so in an 80-mile radius, also serving other remote locations in different parts of rural Arizona and Nevada via telehealth.
