Her advocacy for HIV education and prevention began in Fall 2003 after completing an internship at the Florida/Caribbean AIDS Education & Training Center formerly located at the University of Florida, which is where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science Education with a minor in Community Health. She was so fascinated by the advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART) and their ability to prolong life and prevent mother-to-child transmission among people living with HIV, she earned a certification in HIV Testing & Counseling and decided to pursue a career in Pharmacy.
Dr. Dunn earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the prestigious Howard University and completed two years of post-graduate residency training, at Wolfson Children’s Hospital and Florida Hospital for Children, where she specialized in Pediatric Pharmacy.
Since 2009, she’s had several HIV patient experiences that made a huge impact on her life. Due to a lack of comprehensive sex education programs, alarming rates of new HIV diagnosis, and increased rates of sexually transmitted infections among children and adults, Dr. Dunn decided to start Let’s Beehive® Inc. She is a firm believer that ”age-appropriate HIV education is the key to success” in conquering the fight against HIV/AIDS for children and adults. Ultimately, it is her vision to eradicate HIV/AIDS “using health education as natural medicine.”®
