Bryant's professional focus centers on occupational health systems, pandemic response infrastructure, and community vaccination strategies. Her work at East Cooper Medical Center as Occupational Health Nurse directly shaped her expertise in workplace safety protocols and public health emergency coordination, particularly through leadership of hospital-based COVID-19 task forces. She champions faith-integrated public health practice, training students to advocate with servant-leadership principles while addressing health disparities.

Her approach bridges clinical nursing expertise with population-level health interventions, particularly in resource-limited settings.
