About E.B. Howell: As Much as I Care to Remember Raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Emily graduated from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina and obtained her Masters in Journalism and Public Policy at American University in Washington, DC. She moved to New York City to help others through communications projects and in turn she learned about the power of patient advocacy. She served as the Scientific Communications Director of the National Kidney Foundation in New York City from 2006 – 2014; and as a Communication Specialist at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund. The unifying thread to Howell’s career in patient advocacy is her experience generating awareness for public health issues by developing and disseminating health messaging locally and globally. Emily currently works in healthcare and lives in Beaufort, SC, with her husband. https://www.ebhowell.com/blog/
