Ebony Harris is from Daytona Beach, Florida. She received her Associate in Science in Nursing from Daytona College and her Associate in Science in Health Information & Management from Daytona State College. She has experience as an assistant director of nursing over travel nurse management and as a charge nurse, and also has experience in medical, surgery, long-term acute care, urgent care, and pediatrics. Her favorite part of working with seniors is how priceless and rewarding on an experience it is to know that she can be of help and make a difference in someone’s lives, just as others had made a difference in hers. She appreciates the true care and compassion that her team has for others. "It feels like home here," she says.
When Ebony isn't working, she likes to travel with my children. She stays busy supporting both her oldest daughter, Cammi, at her college flag football games and her youngest daughter, Cassi, at her cheer competitions and basketball games. Although she is a mother of only two, she considers herself to have "a ton" of kids, being a mother figure to several football, cheer, and basketball athletes and as well as the high school track team, which she coaches. She is also a dog mom of Lolah Pynk, Harlee Twinn, and Marlee Quinn (all dachshunds).
Ebony loves seafood, music, dancing, family, and coaching. She absolutely loves being a nurse and having fun with her duties, and she say "Knowing that one day something I do in my field could possibly help or touch at least one life is an amazing feeling. I only hope to measure up to the strong women of nurses that was here before me." One of those women is her very own grandmother, Ethel Henderson, who paved the way for nurses in her family and for whom she is very grateful. Nurse Henderson not only became a nurse at a time when the odds were against her because of the color of her skin, but she was one of the first black nurses in Daytona Beach and one of the first black nurses to work on an all-white unit at Halifax Hospital. "My grandmother set the bar so high," says Ebony, "I pray I can come somewhat close."
