She is very involved in the community and some of her favorite things to do include spending time with family, traveling, hiking, playing board games, and she loves to play/watch soccer.

Chad Deroy, BS
Chad is a Clinical Research Coordinator for the clinic. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from High Point University. Chad is committed to learning more about neurodegenerative disorders because his father passed away in 2022 after a difficult battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He hopes his time at the clinic will lead him on a worthwhile career of helping individuals and their families battle these terrible diseases. Having recently moved to the West Coast, he currently enjoys exploring all the natural beauty of the PNW.
