My background work includes providing social services, support, and resources to patients and clients in surrounding communities. I am transitioning into this current position from that of a certified case manager in the inpatient setting of Duke Health. The quote that I live by is "any day that I can help at least one individual will always be a great day."
Katherine, or “Kat” as she prefers to be called, is a nurse who has been with Duke Health since she was a new graduate nurse in 2014 after an 11-year career in Public Radio. She began her nursing career in the Duke University Hospital Emergency Department, and has since worked for the health system as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), a Transfer Center Nurse, the Duke Health SANE Program Manager, and now as PHMO's Population Health Nurse for the Duke Foster Care Clinic. In 2020, she obtained her MSN in Nursing Informatics.
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.
