I’ve served as the Director of Finance for the Duke Department of Ophthalmology since 2021. In this role, I oversee all clinical and academic financial operations, including budgeting, purchasing, and financial planning. I also manage the Duke Ophthalmic Technician Program, lead the Continuing Medical Education (CME) operations team that coordinates events throughout the year, and oversee clinical trial finances while working closely with clinical trial leadership.
Before joining Ophthalmology, I spent 13 years with the Duke University School of Medicine as Assistant Dean, Budget and Financial Reporting, and Associate Director. I was responsible for managing the financial operations of basic science departments, clinical units, and research centers and institutes, overseeing an annual budget of $750 million.
With more than 25 years of experience in finance operations at Duke, I’ve held several key roles, including serving as a finance liaison during the clinical integration of the annual budget with the Private Diagnostic Clinic (PDC) Finance and Duke University Health System (DUHS) Corporate Services. I played a central role in developing and managing the funds flow model that supports clinical departments.
I’m a results-driven, action-oriented leader with a strong background in budgeting, financial analysis, and strategic fiscal management.
