EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

These past 7 years being the Community Outreach Director has been such a blessing for Nesha and she is so honored to be the new Executive Director of 1ofUs!

Born and raised in Raleigh, Nesha is a true native of the great state of NC. She graduated from UNC Wilmington with a BS in Business Management and Marketing, and returned to the Capital City to join the family business where she worked for 10 years. During that time she had the opportunity to learn from her father, not only working in the company, but also in sharing his passion for giving back to the community through fundraising events and golf tournaments. In 2015 Nesha was the Chair for the Pink Tie Affair Gala and completely fell in love with the mission of 1ofUs and our direct impact work with patients. She joined the team shortly after the Gala and has been organizing and planning events to help 1ofUs grow throughout NC ever since.
Nesha is happily married to Thorne, and they have two boys who keep them crazy busy along with their Labrador, Jedi.

PROJECT MANAGER & VOLUNTEER

Tanya is the person the 1 of Us team turns to without fail when there is a big project on the horizon. Armed with spreadsheets and data, Tanya cuts right to the chase and figures  out the best way to get things done.  Tanya is a Certified Project Manager at her day job, but it is her close relationship with Stephanie and Eric Beguelin, that leads her to devote countless hours to sharing her organizational talents with 1 of Us. Tanya has been the Race Director for three Pink Shamrock 5ks to benefit 1in9, now 1 of Us, but running isn’t her passion. She and her husband Bob can usually be found on the baseball field with their son’s team. 

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Liz began with 1in9 as a volunteer and from Day 1 the organization and its mission quickly became her passion. She spent several years before working as a healthcare provider, focused on Emergency Room and Intensive Care patients, but after taking care of the first 1in9 patient she realized that helping women through their breast cancer battle was what she was meant to do. Liz moved from a volunteer role to managing special events and now her primary objective is building long term relationships with businesses and private donors. Liz is committed to the women and families who need the financial support of 1ofUs. She is also a dog mom to Izzy and Tucker, an avid reader and loves spending time at the beach.

PATIENT & FAMILY COORDINATOR

Robin Woody is a native of Raleigh, NC.  After graduating from ECU Nursing School, Robin worked as a pediatric nurse before moving into pharmaceutical research and then sales.  As a pediatric nurse, Robin was trained as an Asthma educator and performed Pulmonary Function Testing among pediatric patients.  After Robin became a mom, she decided to take a break from nursing and enjoy some time at home.  In 2019, Robin wanted to reconnect and engage in the medical field, where she found 1ofUs. She truly enjoys everything she does helping our NC women and families battle breast and gynecological cancer.

Most of Robin’s free time is spent with her husband cheering on their daughter at tennis or softball! If not at a sporting event, then you’ll find their family enjoying the sun and sand of the coast or the cool breezes and views of the NC mountains.
