Bio

Project Coordinator, Senior Hunger Initiative - North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services. The inspiration for my career change into the aging field comes from being a long-time caregiver to my mother.  The challenges in piecing together her care inform my interests which include family caregiving, older adult food security & nutrition, and aging in place.

Other Memberships:
- Southern Gerontological Society
- American Society on Aging
- North Carolina Coalition on Aging
- North Carolina Serious Illness Coalition
