From patient transporter to emergency management leader. Jennifer Guzman, BA ’23, MPA ’24, found her purpose at MCNY!
When Jennifer began working at Mount Sinai Hospital in 2009, she couldn't have imagined where her career would take her.

Today, she is an emergency management professional, entrepreneur, and a leader who has helped prepare over 1,200 healthcare employees to respond to emergencies.
Her work during the COVID-19 pandemic earned her recognition from the New York City Council and the Brooklyn Borough President.
