Mandi Dickey is a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner with 20+ years of experience in healthcare, nearly all being related to neurosciences. Aside from being a two-time Top Nurse Practitioner award winner, she received the Faculty Excellence award in her previous role of nursing professor, has been on the review committee for several nursing textbooks, and holds the most prestigious award of “Best Mom Ever” from her children. Mandi started Brain Wellness Solutions in 2022, a virtual neurology health education company, where she began her own podcast and authored a book on migraine treatment. ‘Brain Wellness – the Podcast’ has featured both healthcare professionals and patients experiencing various illnesses related to brain health. In 2023, Mandi was in a car accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury, and while not fully recovered, has returned to her passion of sharing and educating the public about neuroscience topics, now most passionately about concussion and TBI.
