Nursing a masters career: Ruthlyn Greenfield-Webster
Ruthlyn V. Greenfield-Webster of Yonkers shared this nice profile of her some time ago. She writes: “My hospital (NYU Hospitals Center) published it. . . They interviewed me and did the photo shoot a year ago (thought they had forgotten about it). Couple corrections: The shot of me jumping is me long jumping, not triple jumping, and this summer I ranked third in the world at the World Championships, not overall! Now if only I can get them to sponsor me. LOL!!! 🙂 ” In the profile, Ruthlyn says: “I want to inspire others. I want people — especially women — to look at me and say, ‘If she can pursue her goals and dreams, then I can pursue mine.’ That’s my reward.” I was privileged to meet Ruthlyn in Lahti. You’re our reward, RGW!
Ruthlyn, a W35 jumper, has a long career ahead of her.

Ruthlyn is one of the nicest people I know —she’s encouraging, optimistic, cheerful, and dedicated. A super athlete and a super friend!
I agree with Liz. Let’s hear it for Ruth. You go girl!!!
Wow. How about that smile!
I met Ruthlyn at an Indoor met a few yrs ago having mistaken her for a teenager. I am proud to call her my friend. If you guys knew the level of determination she has and the level of injury she pushed thru just to get to Lahti – and then for her to medal – WOW!! She is the truth!!
Ruthlyn is an awesome athlete and friend..i was in Lahti to witness all her hard work pay off.
