Nettles is responsible for working with clinics and doctors’ offices to identify and track patients with HIV/AIDS and other STDs diagnoses. Using that data, she and her colleagues can work to identify at-risk populations and target particular groups for education and treatment. Nettles said: “What I really liked about Psychology and Sociology is that you can use those to go on to further education in a lot of different ways. They do provide a good backbone to move into a lot of different careers.”
