ABOUT ELISE ABNEY
As a Master of Genetic Counseling candidate at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, I am passionate about leveraging genetics to improve patient care across pediatric, adult, prenatal, and cancer populations. My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including specialty clinics, preimplantation genetic testing, and community-based care, where I have guided patients and families through complex genetic testing decisions, risk assessments, and results disclosure. Beyond clinical and research experiences, I am committed to mentorship and leadership, serving as a teaching assistant, genetic counseling supervisor, and executive board member supporting students pursuing careers in genetics. I am deeply motivated by the intersection of genetics, patient advocacy, and education, and I aspire to contribute to advancements in personalized medicine while fostering equitable, patient-centered care.
