It is an honor to recognize their dedication and achievements, which continue to elevate the impact of CRNAs across health care and beyond.” 

AANA Fellows are experts in policy, research, administration, practice and academia. Each Fellow has at least 10 years of professional experience as a practitioner of nurse anesthesiology, educator, facility leader, or business leader.

Moore has been part of the Emory School of Nursing faculty since 2018 and an assistant professor and assistant program director since 2021. In addition to her work at Emory, Moore maintains an active clinical practice, ensuring that real-world experience informs her instruction.
