I grew up in small town Alabama and ran track and cross country at the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!). I was able to participate in a rural family medicine exposure program my senior year of college and immediately knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I chose UNC because of the strong reputation as a rigorous training program, but I fell in love with the people in the program I worked with as well as my patient population and thus wanted to stay on as faculty here to launch my career. I found my true passion in teaching residents, inpatient medicine, as well as performing procedures. My love for procedures and teaching prompted me to pursue the Family Medicine Procedure Fellowship where I trained to do advanced outpatient procedures such as vasectomy, excisions with multilayer closures, etc. I still love caring for the family unit and the continuity of care that family medicine clinic provides. When not working you can always find me hiking the Appalachian Trail, running, playing basketball, watching football or back home visiting my family in Alabama.

I see pediatric nephrology patients both in the hospital setting and in the outpatient clinic. I teach medical students, residents and fellows alongside my clinical work. I have a particular interest in systematically improving the quality and value of the healthcare the pediatric nephrology group delivers to children with kidney disease. My overarching goals are to improve patients medical outcomes by consistently and reliably delivering the treatments with the most evidence of being helpful, improve patient safety by redesigning systems to reduce medical errors, and to improve the patient and family experience of disease and medical treatment using thorough but clear explanations and education materials.
