Care Specialist

"I was born and raised in North Carolina.  I graduated from Meredith College in 2009 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology.  I love to garden and "chef it up" in the kitchen!  I also enjoy spending time with my family and three dogs!  My husband is a Kentucky native... so naturally, GO WILDCATS!"

"I am a proud mother of four and a grandmother to twins.  In my spare time I enjoy going out to eat and going to movies.  Life couldn’t be better!"

I have a great love for Durham and the Duke community and love working towards a healthier Durham. I currently serve on the community advisory board for Project Baseline, and I am a former community health organizer for Durham Health Innovations. I graduated from Livingstone College and am originally from Durham. In my spare time, I love walking the American Tobacco Trail and visiting Duke Gardens.

I am a Certified Integrative Health Coach, trained at Duke Integrative Medicine.

I am a graduate of North Carolina Central University with a BS in Psychology. I have many years of experience in healthcare, and I enjoy engaging with patients. I am very excited to be working with DukeWELL, being able to make a difference in patient outcomes. I also enjoy crafting and going to the movies with my family!

I graduated from Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, NC (J-C-S-U!!!) with a bachelors degree in Political Science, and I'm currently working on a masters degree in Public Administration from Strayer University. I have been a part of Duke Health since 2015, and my absolute favorite part of working for Duke is caring and assisting my patients with their healthcare needs. In my down time, I love spending time with my family and watching my children grow and flourish into little awesome people.

I am a North Carolina native with several years of experience assisting people with connecting to healthcare and other community resources. I enjoy this work and serve to make a difference.
