DWS Chalk Talk: Duke Alumni on the Frontlines of Covid-19
5/14/2020 2:22:00 PM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke women's soccer program is excited to announce the upcoming DWS Chalk Talk—featuring Duke Alumni on the Frontlines of Covid-19. Following their successful playing careers in Durham, several former Blue Devil standouts are set to host the Zoom virtual event, which will allow the community to learn and better educate themselves during this global pandemic.
The Duke women's soccer family continues to come together in incredible ways, and would like to extend an open invitation to tune into the coronavirus panel on Sunday, May 17th at 4 p.m. ET. The event will feature the following DWS alumni:
Kelly Cobb (2015) nicknamed the 'Alaskan Assassin for her immediate and significant impact on the Duke soccer program. In her freshman season, she tied a school record for six game-winning goals, helping lead the team to the College Cup final. She also found a similar immediate impact early on in her career as a nurse at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Cobb is on the front lines of caring for Covid-19 patients day-in and day-out – directly handling testing and a number of other tasks. She is able to see what is working, as well as things that can be done differently to provide more effective and efficient care.
Kendall Bradley (2011) graduated from Duke with distinction after a successful career across academics and athletics. Before missing out on her senior season due to injury, Bradley was a two-time ESPN All-District Academic honoree and ACC All-Academic Team member. She excelled in pre-med while simultaneously being an impact player for the Blue Devils and serving as a team captain her senior year. Bradley continues to pave a highly rigorous path as she is a Chief Orthopedic Surgery Resident at Duke Hospital and is headed to San Francisco for a fellowship in sports medicine. Beyond her own medical knowledge, she can also speak to her fiance's experiences as a physician assistant at Duke Urgent Care. Her mom has also been working with Duke Primary Care as a telehealth physician during this pandemic.
Kelly Hathorn (2009) played key minutes for the Blue Devils on both the offensive and defensive ends during her time at Duke. She was named Duke's Rookie of the Year, while also being tabbed as a three-time member of the ESPN All-District Team—excelling in both academics and athletics. She completed medical school at Duke before moving to Boston for residency at the world renowned Brigham and Women's Hospital. She is finishing her gastroenterology fellowship at the Brigham, but as cases are still surging in Boston, she has been asked to work in the COVID Intensive Care Unit. She will return to Duke next year for an advanced endoscopy fellowship. Lastly, Hawthorn's boyfriend is an anesthesiologist, and she can update us on the stress that his department has gone through in dealing with this pandemic, as they are responsible for placing breathing tubes in all the sic patients.
Meg Montgomery (2006) has never played soccer in her life, but that did not stop her from tyring her best to bring the Cameron energy to Koskinen. Beyond fandom, Montgomery spent her time at Duke majoring in biology with a certificate in health policy. She went on to receive a Master of Public Health degree from Columbia University focused on health policy and management. Montgomery spent a decade working in New York City hospitals in roles including finance, strategic planning, operations and clinical research. She currently covers healthcare and environmental issues for U.S. representative Dean Phillips (MN-03) and is happy to share her experience acting as a liaison to federal agencies during the COVID-19 response.
Bridgitt Arnold (1994) Arnold graduated with honors from Duke in 1994 with a double major in French and English. She was a defender on the team that advanced to the NCAA championship for the first time in the history of the program and captained the team the following year as a senior. Arnold was named to the ACC All-Academic team all four years. She is the managing director of communications and external affairs for Bill Gates' private office, Gates Ventures. The organization is focused on helping Gates envision, create and evangelize solutions to solve the world's toughest challenges facing humanity from global health and development to education technology, climate change and domestic healthcare. This includes the current response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. She lives in Seattle with her husband and two children (Mary age 15 and Jack age 10).
