Akesha Edwards

Teacher, Volunteer, and Writer in Rochester, NY

Hello there! I’m Akesha. I’m a professor living in Rochester, NY. Prior to Rochester, I lived in Findlay, Ohio, and am originally from Trinidad and Tobago. When I am not serving my students and institution, you can find me traveling to some random part of the world (love to explore), volunteering at church, or maybe heading to see a good action movie (love a well choreographed fight scene). I’m also interested in writing and am an avid foodie.

MY WHY STATEMENT

To support equity for my students and patients so that they are able to achieve positive clinical, humanistic and economic outcomes.

MY CORE VALUES

  1. Professionalism
  2. Honesty
  3. Advocacy
  4. Love
  5. Family

These five values have been instilled in me throughout my life and I endeavor to pass them on to everyone I interact with.
