Dr. Davis’s dissertation, Emotional Intelligence in Clinical Healthcare Programs: Design and Development R2D2/C3PO Model Use Case Study, published in ProQuest, explores how emotional intelligence can be intentionally integrated into clinical healthcare education through instructional design frameworks that strengthen leadership capacity, communication, and learner development, with the goal of fostering trauma-informed care practices and enhancing patient experiences through emotionally aware and empathetic healthcare environments.

Prior to her transition into healthcare, she built a diverse portfolio across media, fashion, real estate, technology, brand strategy, design, and the global automotive sector. The common thread throughout her career across both public and private realms has been her ability to unite vision with execution, aligning diverse teams and initiatives to drive meaningful outcomes.
