Background

About Anna Thurston

I am a Surgical Trauma ICU Nurse at Huntsville Hospital, where I provide high-quality and compassionate care to critically ill or injured patients. I have over 4.5 years of experience as a Civil Affairs Team Chief (Airborne) in the US Army Reserve, where I led a small, dynamic team of specialists in conducting civil affairs operations and supporting civil-military activities. I have developed regional expertise, language competencies, political-military awareness, and cross-cultural communication skills through this role. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, an Associate's degree in Nursing from Jefferson Community College, and a certification in Medical Billing and Coding from the American Business & Technology University. I am proficient in Epic Systems, Meditech, and other clinical technologies. I am motivated by my passion for serving others, learning new skills, and overcoming challenges.
