Zenith Malawo

I’m Zenith H. Malawo, a Senior Clinical Nurse II at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical System. I came to the United States in 2003 and, as an immigrant and naturalized citizen, my lived experience shapes how I show up in healthcare and storytelling. I hold a BSN from the University of Maryland and am currently pursuing my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree at Coppin State University, an HBCU. I’m also the host of Assorted Immigrant Stories – Lweendo: Tales of a Journey, where I explore migration, identity, and the lessons learned along the way.
