Kinsey has a BFA in Dance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned her Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. While having diverse professional experiences, a single driving force has guided her through it all: the desire to understand the factors influencing individual and community health, social justice, and a passion for designing and implementing projects to help others obtain their highest possible quality of life and bring awareness to critical community issues. As an undergrad, this drive prompted Kinsey to ask questions like, “What can dance do about violence”, and to explore the link between movement, human connection, and joy. Following the historic 2016 flood in Baton Rouge, LA, this drive motivated her to establish Baton Rouge’s first kids yoga day camp to provide a safe place for children to learn social emotional skills. While working with Kansas’ Newborn Screening Program, this drive manifested as she single handedly designed and established a comprehensive annual awards program and screening facility report cards to motivate improved screening performance measures, which have a direct impact on the lives of Kansas babies born with rare diseases. Kinsey derives deep satisfaction from helping clients plan, execute, and evaluate projects and programs that impact their community’s health and social outcomes – especially when those projects bridge the boundaries between public service, social science, data analysis, and creative disciplines.
