Winstead’s influence comes from grandmothers

Winstead’s influence comes from grandmothers

Posted

Brooke Winstead graduated from Philadelphia High School and furthered her education as an undergrad at Ole Miss and is now in medical school. 

She became a licensed pharmacist but has returned to school at UMMC. 

This year is her first in medical school. One of the things that drew Winstead to the medical profession is a mission trip to Peru, where she helped hand out medical supplies and spread the Gospel.

Winstead hopes to go back one day on a mission trip. After school, Winstead is planning on working with diseases and eventually becoming a pediatrician.

Before attending UMMC, Winstead got her pharmacy tech license during her senior year of high school and worked at Walgreens for over seven years. 

While she was in pharmacy school, she went to Peru, and it changed the way she looked at medicine and helping others. 

They went to Peru for 10 days, and it was also through the pharmacy school. The group got to set up medicine tents to help the people of Peru. 

“We set up clinics every day, and we traveled through the mountains where they didn't have medical care,” said Winstead 

Winstead attends Bethsadia Baptist Church in Philadelphia with her husband, Tanner Winstead.

 Both of Winstead’s parents, Chris Long and Taneil Roberts, live in Philadelphia, including step-mom Amanda Long on her father’s side. Winstead grew up with her sister Shayla Long, who is 21. 

Winstead’s husband, Tanner Winstead, works with his father’s logging company in Philadelphia, and they have one fur baby named Ace. 

She and Tanner have been married since July of last year.

Winstead loves to bake. She’s the dessert person in her friend group. 

Winstead also likes to renovate old furniture. Winstead is passionate about medicine. She loves learning more about it, and hopefully, one day working on giving back to the community. Winstead and her husband have prominent families, and she is passionate about visiting with them.

“We used to get together for Sunday lunch, but since COVID, it hasn't happened as much,” Winstead said.
