I was born and raised in Burlington, NC, attended Duke University for undergraduate and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine for medical school. I am excited to be able to serve the North Carolina community. It was a lifelong goal of mine to become a surgeon. It is a privilege to deliver care when people entrust us with their surgical needs. I aim to be kind, empathetic, diligent, and persistent in caring for patients while using surgery as a tool to reverse or cure conditions and improve longevity and quality of life. My interest in Bariatric and Advanced Gastrointestinal Surgery is born out of a desire to combine knowledge, surgical judgment, and technical expertise to develop a solid patient-physician relationship and achieve problem resolution for my patients. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and watching and playing sports.

What I enjoy most about bariatric surgery is not only improving a patient's health, but their quality of life. It is extremely rewarding to help patients meet their weight-loss goals through bariatric surgery. My clinical interests include diabetes and infertility resolution after weight-loss surgery. Outside of work, I enjoy spinning, watching sports and baking.
