How to Be an Advocate Panel
Today and every day, NSHSS stands with its members, parents, educators, colleagues, partners, and collaborators around the world to speak out against inequality and promote peace, understanding, and world betterment.
On Thursday, October 7, NSHSS held another virtual of our How to Be an Advocate Panel. In celebration of National Coming Out Day on October 11, we focused this installment of the How to Be an Advocate Series on education and awareness through solidarity of our LGBTQ+ community members. Our vision is to establish a worldwide network of high achieving scholars and help equip them to be the next generation of impact-driven leaders in their schools, workplaces, and communities. The Society, its mission, values and student members embody the Nobel Spirit.” Part of that includes a commitment to world betterment and preparing those students to be kind.
Watch the conversation about what it means to be an advocate.

"I’m obsessed with leveling up the playing field. As the founder of LevelUp Social Marketing, an agency focused on customer-centric marketing, my goal is to elevate small businesses in the digital arena, something that was once out of reach due to cost. Leveraging knowledge from my career as an award winning Director of Sales and Marketing for National hotel brands such as Marriott, Hilton, and IHG makes customer centricity second nature. Every client we represent has seen tremendous growth in revenue and repeat/loyal customers. Being a lover of all things marketing, I’m the consumer who will buy any new product with great packaging. When I’m not building brands and making business owners visions a reality, I’m competing with the person running next to me on the treadmill, reading marketing data, window shopping online (leaving my items in the cart and never checking out), and watching back to back episodes of Law and Order SVU."

Dr. Anita Haugabrook’s journey in medicine began at a young age when she declared to her parents at the age of 7, she wanted to be a doctor. She knew that whenever she went to the doctor, she left feeling better…and she decided, she wanted to do the same for others. Her first desire was to be a Pediatrician because of her positive experience with doctors as a child. With a heart of determination, she pressed forward to pursue and fulfill her dreams. After graduating from Warner Robins High School, she went on to obtain her Bachelors of Science in Biology from Georgia Southern University. From there, she went on to obtain her M.D. degree from Morehouse School of Medicine, 1995. She continued her journey, moving to Memphis TN for her residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics (a double board program). After residency, she returned to practice Primary Care in the West Georgia area. After 8 years of working in Primary Care (including being a managing owner/partner in her practice), Anita shifted her focus to inpatient (Hospitalist Medicine) which remains her focus/area of expertise to date. In 2017, she took a leap of faith and began independent contracting as a Hospitalist. This allowed her to pursue her lifelong desire to do medical mission work. To date, she has provided much needed care in Panama, Haiti, Guatemala, and Guyana South America. In her spare time, Dr. Haugabrook loves to travel the globe, exploring other cultures. She is a workout fanatic, an avid golfer (that’s a work in progress), serving on multiple ministries at her church, and spending quality time with family and dear friends.
