I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been providing support to youth and their families within the community for the last four years.

I earned my BSN from East Carolina University in 2003, and I have been a Duke nurse ever since! I am a North Carolina native and love to spend my spare time with my family and gardening. I have over twenty years in direct patient care with experience in neurosurgery and emergency medicine. I enjoy getting to know patients and what is important to them. I find gratification in helping them navigate the health system, educating them on their health problems, and overall supporting their well-being.
I have been with Duke for eighteen years, where I spent all of that time at Duke Regional Hospital. I have spent my career in the surgery population but have worked with many different types of patients from the most prestigious patient to the least prestigious ones. I like what I do due to the fact that I am making a difference in someone else's life and hopefully that difference is for the better.
