Hi my name is Kayla Aanerud and I am a Case Manager with Alabaster Case Management. I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from California State University of Sacramento. I have been doing case management services for the past 10 years; focusing on child development, mental health, and homelessness.  My passion has always been supporting families and strengthening communities. I have been able to pursue my passion through case management by providing connection to resources, as well as being a resource to the people that I have the privilege to serve. My family and I have been happy to call North Carolina our home since 2021. I am looking forward to doing my part in strengthening and growing our community.

Hi my name is Carley Cumbo and I am a Case Manager with Alabaster Case Management. I attended the University of North Carolina Wilmington where I received my Bachelor’s in Recreation Therapy. Before working in Case Management I worked with families and children in the community, education system, and within the realm of adaptive sports— helping them reach their goals, eliminate barriers to health and wellness, and increase overall quality of life. I knew from a young age that I had a deep desire to spend my life genuinely loving and serving others. I am passionate about meeting families where they are, being a strong support and place of hope! It’s an honor to transfer my previous skills to walk alongside the families at Alabaster. I am a local of Wilmington, North Carolina and enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, taking long walks on the beach, and exploring new hobbies to try.
