Care Specialist

I’m originally from St. Louis, MO, where I earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. After relocating to North Carolina with my little sister in 2022, we quickly embraced the beautiful NC weather! I spent the past eight years as a school social worker, driven by a deep passion for supporting individuals, children, and families. I thrive on connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, meeting them where they are, and helping them access valuable resources and support.

I was born in Honduras. I’m fluent in Spanish and English. I recently received my Bachelor’s degree in Health Care Management from the University of Mount Olive. I began my career with Duke over 11 years ago in a pediatric clinic in which I served as a financial care counselor and medical interpreter. I love working in the health care field, because I love being able to make someone’s day better and help them through trying times. I’m very excited to be a part of this amazing team at PHMO.

I have extensive experience in patient care, both in mental health and critical care. My interest in the work I do stems from the desire to help individuals obtain quality healthcare while feeling like they are seen throughout the entire process. I want to provide assistance navigating medical care along with showing attention to patient needs.

I worked ten years in the school system before completing my bachelor’s and master’

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 was born and raised in Durham NC, but have resided in Covington GA, and Fort Laud

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 was born and raised in Durham, and my passion since graduating from North Carolina Central University has been working with vulnerable populations. I have more than five years of experience working with the homeless population, veterans, child protective services, and pediatrics. I look forward to incorporating health care into care management by addressing social determinants of health to prevent health inequities and assisting patients to reach their goals.
