Kassandra J. Stoffer

Kassandra Stoffer graduated from The Ohio State University in 2004 and started her nursing career as an RN in the Duke Intensive Care Nursery. She later worked in the Duke Emergency Department, which highlighted the importance of primary care and led her to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing degree at Duke University.
