​
"It's a good time for voters to welcome new ideas, fresh perspectives and an even wider range of life experiences to a commission that represents an ever challenging and diversifying population. Collins, who holds a PhD in cancer and radiation biology, has served various research and administrative roles at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital since 2008. She also served her country for four years in the 1990's, training fighter pilots as a senior airman. That experience will serve her well in a district that includes the Navy base in Millington, where her husband is a commanding officer."
