Growing up in a small, rural town as a farm girl makes one more aware of the dire needs of people, and for me, this was healthcare. Thus, I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. My philosophy of care is treating my patients with sincerity and respect while providing current, evidence-based, best medical practice. I also educate my patients about their diseases and make informed management decisions based on their unique needs and conditions. My areas of special interest include pituitary disorders as well as thyroid/parathyroid disorders. Outside of work, I enjoy walking/hiking and spending time with my family and friends.

I grew up in Raleigh where I enjoyed playing piano and soccer. I am very close to my two "little" brothers who are now much taller than I am. After graduating high school, I went to Duke and became a "Cameron Crazy" before traveling down Tobacco Road to Chapel Hill for medical school. Having spent my youth in the Triangle, I moved to Chicago to complete my training and gained an appreciation for Chicago sports and deep dish pizza. During that time, I met my wife, an infectious disease physician. After 7 years in Chicago, I decided it was time to move back home to take care of the great people of North Carolina. When I am not taking care of patients or reading cardiac magnetic resonance images (MRIs), I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, trying new restaurants, watching sports on TV and playing the latest radio hit on the piano.
