Written by Denver 7 | May 30, 2024

Recent University of Colorado College of Nursing graduate Emily Fivekiller who experienced homelessness as a child is now ready to help families in similar situations. Fivekiller originally wanted to become a doctor, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Biology degree as an undergraduate, but said that wasn’t the right path for her. She went on to earn a master's degree in public health from the Colorado School of Public Health at Anschutz Medical Campus.
