Care Manager

I have been a nurse for 10 years. I started my career working in an ICU; then I transitioned to an ambulatory and procedural clinic. After my family and I relocated to North Carolina, I started working in an outpatient neurology clinic, both on the floor and in the telephone triage office. I am very passionate about helping others, and I am very excited to continue this work at DukeWELL.

I am native of Massachusetts and graduated from Boston College in Communication. I decided to “try” nursing and followed up at a community college to become an RN. Now 28 years later, I have received a BSN from UNC Wilmington and have worked as an RN in both Massachusetts and North Carolina. I have worked in forensics, behavioral health with both adults and adolescents/children, rehabilitation, and as a utilization manager for the last 12 years. I love working as an RN with opportunities to work with so many disciplines and care for such a diverse population.

I graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Nursing in 2020. I started my career as a NICU nurse and later transitioned to outpatient nursing, which had some components of care management. I loved the care management aspect of healthcare, because it provided the opportunity to care for patients holistically and on a deeper level. I am grateful to have found DukeWELL and look forward to serving a new population!

With 23 years of experience as a registered nurse, I've had the privilege of working in various fields, such as corrections, radiology, oncology, intensive care, utilization management, and behavioral health. Recently, I accomplished my master’s in social work, and I am eager to utilize my extensive experience and education to enhance the well-being of our patients and their families. Helping people is my passion, and I am excited to work with you!

I’ve been a RN for 26 years. The majority of my time was spent in NICU, PICU, and Neo/Peds transport. I was taught to not just care for my patients, but for the family as well. My other time was spent in obstetrics and pediatric neurology. I have a wide spectrum of experiences and am excited to bring those to help serve this community.

I have been a Duke team member since 2010—initially as a case manager for general medicine teams, and then I assisted in embedding the case management model in the Duke Emergency Department. I enjoy being of service to our patients and connecting them to resources in our community.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been serving children and families for the past eight years as an intensive in-home therapist, as well as in schools. I love connecting with people and helping others access resources and find support. I am invested in learning your story and walking with you to move forward in life.

My nursing background includes ortho, med-surge, geriatrics, and mental health. I am passionate about helping patients and families improve their overall well-being. DukeWELL’s mission and vision aligns with my values of advancing health together. I am excited to be a part of the team.

I have been an RN for 22 years, earning my BSN from North Carolina A&T State University: "Go Aggies!" I've worked in a variety of settings and worn lots of hats from bedside nursing to management. I enjoy making a positive impact in the lives of my patients. I work hard to ensure I'm living my best life, and I strive to help my patients do the same.
