I am a 2012 graduate from NC Wesleyan College with a B.S. in Exercise Science and 2015 graduate from Howard University (the real HU!) where I received my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy. I am also a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and initially began my OT career in the adult inpatient acute care hospital setting here at Duke Health. I love being an OT, because I have the opportunity to be creative when incorporating the interests of my patient’s and developing goals that improve their independence, as well as quality of life. I love making a difference, advocating for others, and seeing our community thrive with impactful encounters. I am elated to be a part of the DukeWell team!
Occupational Therapists assist people from across a variety of lifespans to engage in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability.
