Care Coordinator

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 was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and I’m the proud mother of two daughters. I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and experience working as a patient navigator, where I’ve developed strong skills in supporting families, coordinating care, and connecting people with resources. What I enjoy most is building trusting relationships and making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. I’m excited to bring my compassion, organization, and communication skills to the DukeWELL team and to continue making a positive impact.

I am a graduate of University Of North Carolina at Asheville, and I'm a certified community health worker with previous experience in in population health community outreach and community resource circle creation. I also have workforce development skills with 18-24 years in the re-entry population. I have a passion for assisting my community and being a positive impact to those I work with!

I have worked in healthcare for more than twenty years, building strong experience in patient care, care coordination, and customer service. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed helping individuals navigate healthcare services and connecting them with the resources they need to improve their health outcomes. As a DukeWELL Care Coordinator, I am passionate about supporting patients through education, outreach, and to help them achieve better overall wellness. I find it rewarding to make a positive impact on patients’ lives.

I have a strong background in supporting individuals and communicating in a way that makes people feel comfortable and understood. I genuinely enjoy helping people feel supported and confident in their next steps. I’m especially drawn to this role, because it allows me to be a reliable resource and make a meaningful impact in people’s day-to-day experiences.

I have been with Duke for about six years. I started off working in the float pool as a patient services associate. After working in that position for a year, I finally found a permanent clinic I could work in as a PSA. I enjoy working in health care, because I love helping people and forming trusting relationships with them. It makes me feel satisfied when patients are grateful for the help I provide to them.

“Building foundations today for stronger tomorrows”

I am born and raised in Raleigh, NC. I received my undergraduate degree in Public Health from East Carolina University. My interest in public health comes from a strong desire to improve health outcomes and bridge the gaps with equity and access to quality healthcare. I like being able to help and connect people with the resources around them to ensure that they have a healthy quality of life.

I am a Durham native with a passion for healthcare. I have been with Duke for 28 years, and I am excited to continue with DukeWELL.

I am a wife, mother of two adult daughters, and the grandmother of five. I am a 2008 breast cancer survivor, and I am coming to Duke after 25 years at Rex-UNC. I have lots of knowledge and experience I am bringing with me and hoping to add to that knowledge and experience. I am so excited for this new venture and most appreciative for the opportunity.
