Dr. Tonychris Nnaka
As an associate professor and the associate dean of research in UNT Health’s College of Nursing, Dr. Tonychris Nnaka’s journey to a career in nursing and leadership is one inspired by tragedy and fueled by his desire to live courageously. At just 10 years old, Nnaka and his immediate older sister, then age 12, both came down with the same condition – a waterborne illness. Nnaka recovered, but his sister lost her life to this preventable illness. He made a promise to himself then that whatever he did in the future would be about saving lives.
