Access Drives Everything Dr. Nelva Lee Episode #DCLXII The Doctor of Digital™ G. Mick Smith, PhD

How Dr. Nelva Lee is transforming lessons from healthcare innovation into a blueprint for educational equity and systemic change

As the founder and CEO of a Medical Interpreting Trade School, my focus has always been on expanding access and harnessing technology for the greater good of the community. My work as a Governor Kemp-appointed board member of the Georgia Department of Community Health has given me firsthand insight into public health strategy and digital transformation. Most recently, I’ve entered the race for Georgia Superintendent of Schools, aiming to champion innovation, equity, and effective communication within education.


Most people don’t run for an education office after building a healthcare company.


Dr. Nelva Lee did—because she saw the same systemic failure in both.


I’m Mick, The Doctor of Digital.

And this episode is about why access drives everything.


At one point, Dr. Lee explains why interpreting language taught her more about power than any policy textbook ever could.

Post-election, what’s the leadership platform you want this book to build?
