She is a major supporter of Take the Lead’s innovative program 50 Women Can Change the World––currently operating in media and entertainment, healthcare, journalism and finance–and the international work of Convoy of Hope. Her podcast, available on DrNancyOreilly.com, features interviews with smart, amazing women and their smart male allies, and her timely articles have appeared in numerous publications and on popular national blogs.
As a licensed psychologist, Dr. Nancy has served for many years on the governor-appointed Missouri Committee of Psychologists. Additionally, she acted as the director of a large employee assistance program, and a Nationally Certified Crisis Team Leader in New York City after 9/11.
