Bio
Melonie Owusu DNP, CRNP, FNP-BC, AACRN, AAHIVS
I worked at Dr. Njide Udochi’s medical practice as a DNP student/research intern from July 2020 to May 2021. During this time I learned so many valuable lessons about medicine, research, entrepreneurship, patient centered care, and countless other things. Dr. Udochi is not only an amazing physician, businesswoman, scholar, and researcher, she is an amazing person. Her patients and staff are so blessed to have her in their lives. She goes above and beyond for everyone she comes in contact with. I will carry all the things I learned from her for the rest of my career. I am a better practitioner because of her many lessons and the intentionality she showed in ensuring I succeed. She receives my highest recommendation!

Dr. Njide Okonjo-Udochi is utterly one of the most delightful individuals that I have had the pleasure of working at Harvard Medical School. It’s rare that you come across standout brilliant talent like NJ, her ability to bring a fresh perspectives and diverse viewpoints to healthcare industry have profound social impacts. Creativity, passion, integrity and flair are NJ’s real gifts; as it will take considerable ingenuity to command a room and get people on board with crafty ideas to keep the team motivated through the inevitable challenges. As a thoughtful CEO, team-player Leader and compassionate soul, NJ earns my highest endorsement, her remarkable dedication to her craft is nothing short of inspiring.
