Care Coordinator

I have worked with Duke Access Services as an appointment coordinator and referral specialist. I have also worked with Duke PRMO as a Financial Care Counselor. I am excited to work with DukeWELL to build a healthier community by assisting with coordination of preventive care.

I have worked in a OB-GYN office for 12 years. During that time, I took some billing classes and obtained my CPC license. I worked as a OB-GYN coder for 5 years and decided I wanted to have more patient contact, and that is why I decided to come to DukeWELL. I am a mom of two boys—one is a senior, and the other is in 8th grade. We keep very busy with sports and church.

I am originally from Honduras. I am bilingual and a mother of two daughters and a grandmother of two grandbabies. I am certified bilingual through Duke Health and a notary public. I came to the United States when I was seventeen years old with my family. I have been in the medical filed since 2006 with Duke Health, and my goal is to retire from Duke Health. My hobbies are cooking, walking, dancing, fishing, and spending time with my family.

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 in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico and raised in Durham, NC. I have been working with Duke Health since July of 2019, where I started as a patient service associate at The Duke Eye Center. I am very excited to be a part of the DukeWELL team and continue my career at Duke.

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 because 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 receiving 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 was born in Wildwood, NJ, but North Carolina is home. I started with Duke in February 2012. I’m so excited to come aboard with DukeWELL. I absolutely love helping and assisting people. I enjoy music and spending time with family.

I was born and raised in Durham, NC, and I am a mother of three boys.
