Care Coordinator

I was born and raised in North Carolina and originally from a small town named Whiteville. I am currently in school seeking a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work with hopes to obtain a Master’s Degree to become an LCSW. I have been in healthcare for over twenty years with experience in the mental health and intellectual/developmental disabilities field. I am most looking forward to expanding my reach by working with DukeWELL to make more of an impact.

I'm originally from Cary, NC, and I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Public Health with a concentration in Worksite Health from East Carolina University. I’m passionate about creating positive changes in health outcomes in my community and am thrilled to pursue that passion at DukeWELL!

I have extensive experience as a team lead for patient services, where I have managed a dedicated team to ensure the highest level of care and support for our patients. What I love most about my work is the opportunity to make a positive impact on patients' lives and the satisfaction of knowing our team is providing essential support during critical times.

I grew up in North Carolina. I am married, and I have two sons and two dogs who I enjoy spending my time with. I believe the DukeWELL program is so helpful and such a great resource to help people learn how important it is to make their health a priority!

I have eighteen years of diverse experience in the medical field, encompassing front office operations, patient scheduling, insurance verification, billing, and insurance. This blend of skills has equipped me to enhance patient experiences and support healthcare operations effectively. I look forward to my future at DukeWELL.

I come from many years of healthcare. I have a love for helping, growing relationships, and making a difference in others lives as much as I possibly can.

I was born and raised in Chapel Hill, NC. I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill, earning a Bachelors of Arts in Biology. I have worked within the medical field for over twenty years. I have always had a passion to help people and my community thrive and live healthy lives. I am grateful to be able to join a team that shares the same passion.

My twenty years of healthcare experience have taught me the importance of empathy and effective communication in fostering patient trust and understanding. I find fulfillment in helping patients navigate their healthcare journeys. My passion stems from the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people's lives by providing them with the resources and support they need to achieve better health outcomes.

Working in healthcare, I’ve learned so much from the patients I’ve encountered through the years! They’ve taught me how to be empathetic and compassionate, but most importantly to always keep pushing! There’s a quote by MLK that I live by: "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving.” My patients have shown me that through their strength and courage. I wouldn’t want to be in any other field than healthcare!

I have been privileged to live as well as work in several different states in my life. This has allowed me to learn a great deal about the difference in people's needs. I have worked mostly with children throughout my career, which has given me the opportunity to assist parents with the development of their children. Helping people be successful with their goals and in their lives is what I truly enjoy about this career.
