Early life and education
editMiyamoto completed her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of California, Davis and her Master's degree at Vanderbilt University.[1] Following her master's degree, Miyamoto worked as a nurse practitioner in emergency response and pediatric sexual assault examiner.[2] She then returned to UC Davis for her Ph.D. in their Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing[1] and accepted a 2013–15 Doris Duke Fellowship.[3]
Career
editWhile completing her fellowship, Miyamoto met Jennie Noll who directed Pennsylvania State University's (PSU) Network on Child Protection and Well-Being. She was subsequently recruited to become the Network's nursing specialist and charged with developing an undergraduate course for PSU's interdisciplinary minor in Child Maltreatment.[4] As an assistant professor at PSU's College of Nursing, she oversaw the launch of the Sexual Assault Forensic Examination and Training (SAFE-T) Center, a telehealth program to train rural nurses in assault exams.[5] She also led a one-year project to examine the incident rates and risk factors for commercial sexual exploitation of children in Pennsylvania.[6]
In July 2020, Miyamoto was one of 11 nurse scientists accepted to the inaugural cohort of the Betty Irene Moore Fellowships for Nurse Leaders and Innovators. The fellowship program recognized early- to mid-career nursing scholars and innovators with a "high potential to accelerate leadership in nursing research, practice, education, policy and entrepreneurship."[7] The following month, Miyamoto was inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing.[8]
