Connect with Maria

Hi fellow Demon Deacons!

I’m Maria (Binney) Plunkett and I graduated from Wake Forest in 2012 with a major in Psychology and a minor in Neuroscience. After graduation, I moved to Nashville to earn my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Belmont University.

Today, I serve as Vice President of Clinical Operations at CareBridge, a healthcare technology company focused on helping older adults and individuals with disabilities remain safely in their homes and communities. I oversee the clinical model and quality operations for a team that provides occupational and physical therapy-informed recommendations to support person-centered care.

My career began in direct patient care as an occupational therapist in skilled nursing and home health settings. In 2020, I took a leap of faith and joined CareBridge as its first frontline Clinical Assessor. Over the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow alongside the organization, progressing from Clinical Assessor to Manager, Director, and now Vice President of Clinical Operations.

I’m currently based in the Charleston area with my husband and children and enjoy helping others navigate their own professional journeys. I’d be happy to connect about healthcare technology, occupational therapy, leadership development, working in a fast-growing startup environment, navigating fully remote work, or balancing career growth with family life and parenthood.

I look forward to connecting with you!
