Grants & Contracts Manager

I am excited to be a part of CGMT as the Grants and Contracts Manager for the Duke Marine Lab team in Beaufort. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics as well as a Masters Degree in Business Administration both from High Point University. I have experience in research administration and grants management with the NC Department of Environmental Quality Division of Marine Fisheries, UNC Institute of Marine Sciences, and the Duke School of Medicine. I enjoy living on the coast of North Carolina, close to the Duke Marine Lab. For fun, I enjoy hanging out at the beach, fishing, and riding my Harley. I am also a sound technician for some of my friends that have a local reggae band.
