Care Coordinators

Healthcare has always been a passion of mine, being able to help others with their health and making sure everyone receives the best care possible. I appreciate and understand the gravity and effect that healthcare interactions have on patients, and I want to contribute to the great care that patients receive at Duke. I look forward to working closely with patients to ensure that they are well taken care of and can take advantage of all the amazing resources and healthcare professionals that Duke has to offer.

I’ve always enjoyed helping others and being a positive impact on their lives. I’m very honored and excited to join the DukeWELL team.  

I am passionate about service to our patients here at Duke, both clinically and outside in the public realm. Patients travel from all over the country and beyond because of our reputation in healthcare. I am committed to meet their expectations head on and bring whatever value I can to this already well established health system.

I’m from Durham, and I attended college at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University
(NC A&T State University) and obtained my bachelor’s degree in social work. What I love most about the work that I do is serving populations in the community in ways that promote healthy development that enhances one’s quality of life.

I’ve been working in the mental health field for more than twenty years. I’ve had the opportunity to be able to work with this population at different stages and ages. I feel privileged to be able to help our patients meet their goals and milestones.

I was born and raised in Durham, NC. I have been a part of Duke as a certified medical assistant for twelve years. My work at Duke has allowed me to gain valuable knowledge regarding patient care and access to health care. I am excited to be a part of DukeWELL. 

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, holding a bachelor’s in psychology with a minor in sociology. I have over eight years experience as a patient services associate. I am a proud Durhamite! I am excited to connect patients with valuable community resources that foster positive health outcomes and enhance their quality of life. 

I have joined the DukeWELL team becasue I have always wanted to be a part of the bigger picture when it comes to helping my patients. A lot of patients have left appointments not recieving all of the help that they may have needed. This has always made me realize that we are missing a step in caring for patients. If I can lend a hand or ease my patients into the best care, then I'll do whatever it takes.

I’m from Eastern North Carolina. I received my Bachelors of Science degree from East Carolina University, and I am currently obtaining my Masters of Science degree from North Carolina Central University. Both of my degrees have strong ties to working with the family and the community. I have always wanted to have a job working with children and to be a support to the family when they needed anything.

I have a BS in general biology from East Carolina University, and I am currently pursuing a masters in public health. I aspire to go to nursing school one day, but until then, I am looking to gain experience working closely with patients and helping them as much as possible. Most of all, I am passionate about helping those within my community holistically through empathetic communication and active listening. I am excited to use my MPH education to help bridge the gaps between patients and their social determinants of health needs.
