I chose to become a physician to learn more about the human body, and then to have the opportunity to take that knowledge and apply it in an understandable and approachable way to all my patients. I ultimately became a specialist in heart rhythm disorders as it is a rapidly growing field that still has much to be discovered. Heart rhythm disorders can be very frightening, and it is my mission to help my patients understand their condition in a comprehensible way, incorporating their thoughts and opinions into their own plan of care.

As a family medicine physician, I am committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care to individuals and families of all ages and backgrounds. I believe that everyone deserves a doctor that they can trust - someone who listens, understands their unique needs, and supports them through every stage of life. Whether I'm caring for newborns, teens, adults, or seniors, I strive to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where every patient feels seen, heard, and empowered in their health journey. I have interests in inpatient medicine, chronic disease management, women’s health/prenatal care, rural/underserved populations, and addiction medicine. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring downtown Durham with my husband and son, thrift shopping, crossword puzzles, and visiting the beaches of NC.
