C. Nevada Winrow
Background[edit]
Dr. C. Nevada Winrow (Christi-Nevada Winrow) is an American born Pediatric Neuropsychologist and founder of Black Girls Dive Foundation[1], a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering girls who are historically underrepresented in STEM. She is one of the first few African American females in the 1990's to specialize in Pediatric Neuropsychology and complete a fellowship in Pediatric Neuropsychology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Her focus then was one Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease and stroke[2][3]. She is now focused on ensuring that other Black girls engaged in STEM activities in areas particularly underrepresented in STEM.
Early Life and Education[edit]
Nevada grew up in Delaware and then moved to Bucks County, Pennsylvania to complete her secondary education. Thereafter, she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychobiology with a minor in Chemistry and Biology from Lincoln University of Pennsylvania. She received training in Neurochemisty at Princeton University and Psychoneuroimmunology at the Medical College of Pennsylvania. She also trained at National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke under Dr. Jordan Grafman, Chief of Cognitive Neuroscience. Nevada received her M.S and Ph.D in Neuropsychology from Howard University[4][5]. During her tenure at Howard, she was awarded the Neuroscience Fellowship under the American Psychological Association Minority Neuroscience Research Fellowship program. She is also an alumna of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where she completed her first postdoctoral fellowship in Pediatrics, Division of Hematology and Oncology and a second fellowship in the Department of Neuroradiology under Elias Melhem, M.D.
Organizational Involvement[edit]
Nevada Winrow has served in many professional capacities that include being on the Board of Examiners for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, our nation's highest honor bestowed by the President of the United States to American companies from various sectors in manufacturing, health care and education. She served for many years on the Mid-Atlantic Council of the Society for College and University Planning and on the Board for Women in Maryland Higher Education and the Maryland Association for Institutional Research. Dr. Winrow is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Black Girls Dive Foundation, Inc.[edit]
In 2017, Nevada, along with her daughter, Taylor-Symon Winrow, founded Black Girls Dive Foundation[6], Inc. This organization was founded out of the need to have a more diverse and inclusive workforce in the aquatic sciences[7][8][9][10][11]. Nevada is certified by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors as a Master Scuba Diver.
