I’m a new resident of Durham. I recently relocated from Austin, TX, where I lived for 11 years. I have a BA in art and am a certified yoga teacher. I have worked in the art and design industries and in various health and wellness professional roles for decades. In addition to earning an MPH from University at Albany, SUNY, I am currently pursuing graduate certificates in global health and public health surveillance and preparedness. I enjoy meeting people where they are in their health journeys, connecting and getting involved on a community level, and finding solutions to meet the needs of diverse populations. It’s an honor and a privilege to be a part of the DukeWELL team, where collaboration and dedication positively impact the health of individuals and whole communities. I enjoy spending time with family and in nature, being active, making and experiencing art, continuing educational pursuits, reading, and listening to podcasts and audiobooks. I'm grateful to be here.
