Care Coordinator

I have a background in recreational therapy with eight years of experience, primarily working in long-term care and oncology settings. Throughout my career, I've developed a passion for helping individuals improve their quality of life through therapeutic activities. Recently, I completed a Master of Health Administration (MHA) degree, and I'm excited to transition into this new role as a DukeWELL Care Coordinator. I’m eager to apply my clinical experience and newly acquired skills to contribute to improving health outcomes for diverse populations.

I am a North Carolina native, hailing from Selma. I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 2020 with a degree in Exercise & Sport Science and have been interested in healthcare from a young age. I enjoy working with diverse patient populations and ensuring that they are receiving the care they need to best support their health outcomes. With every patient interaction, I hope to build a relationship that enables my DukeWELL coworkers and I to work alongside our patients to improve their health.

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 PHMO.

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.
