Kimberly Baley
Ms. Baley is our school nurse.
Hello! I am Nurse Baley, and I hail from Statesboro, Georgia, a small town west of Savannah. I attended Georgia Southern University where I earned my BS in Recreational Therapy in 2005. After moving to North Carolina, I went back to school to obtain my nursing degree from Wake Technical Community College. After graduating from Wake Tech in 2011, I spent the next 6+ years working at a private pediatric practice. In March 2018, I took a position with Wake County as a School Based Public Health Nurse, where I have been since. I became a Nationally Certified School Nurse in August 2019! I absolutely LOVE the schools that I cover and all of the students and staff that I work with! In my "free time," I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 young children, running, doing Pilates, spending time at the lake, and pretty much anything dance or music related. I also spend a lot of my "free time" serving on the board of Myra's Angels Foundation, a local nonprofit that supports homeless and foster youth in Wake and surrounding counties.
