I bring experience leading a wide range of community coalitions and projects, including work focused on infant safety, mental health education, school gardens, human trafficking prevention, and aging safely at home. Throughout my career, I have prioritized elevating the voices of the community we serve and using their insights, perspectives, and lived experiences as the foundation for program planning and decision-making. What I value most about this work is ensuring that our efforts are meaningful and effective through clear, measurable outcomes.

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 Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in community based behavioral health and medical case management. I have always had a passion for working with children and families in various capacities. I enjoy collaborating with others for a common goal to enhance the wellbeing of individuals in need.
