I am a general cardiologist at Kernodle Clinic with Duke Health, practicing at the Burlington and Mebane locations. I manage cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. I have a particular interest in preventive cardiology. I enjoy educating patients about their heart issues, understanding their priorities, and helping them choose the best available treatment options. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and playing badminton and tennis.

I care for patients with a wide range of medical conditions and complexities, from younger adults to older adults. With my older patients, I focus on screening, diagnosing, and treating geriatric syndromes, including cognitive impairment and dementia. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care that addresses both the medical and psychosocial aspects of aging. My holistic, evidence-based approach emphasizes quality of life, offering personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. I strive to minimize risks and maximize the benefits of all treatment modalities, especially medications.

Coming from a nursing background, I decided I wanted to provide compassionate care and strong provider-patient relationships. I believe in creating a safe space where patients can speak freely about their health concerns. I strive to make my patients comfortable by being an active listener as soon as they meet me. Women’s health provides a unique opportunity in medicine to interact with patients throughout different stages of their lives. I began my nursing career in critical care and emergency medicine. Eventually, I went back to school to become a nurse practitioner and now specialize in women’s health. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband, spending time outside with Lincoln (my English Golden Retriever), and watching college football.

I was raised in Greensboro and I have been practicing in Alamance County since 1989. I am married with three sons and my wife and I are active in our church . I enjoy the relationships that I have with my patients and look forward to caring for my patients in the years to come at my new location in Mebane with Kernodle Clinic.

I treat women in various stages of life, from adolescence through menopause. I have always been fascinated with the miracle of life. My fascination grew after speaking to my mother about her birth experience with me and how she felt her doctors and nurses engaged with her while delivering a 28-week-old baby in the early 1980s. As a young teen, I knew that I wanted to become a midwife and that this profession encompassed everything I wanted to do: encourage, support, and empower women. I enjoy being able to connect with younger patients and making them feel comfortable as they transition into adulthood. I am passionate about providing safe holistic, and compassionate care to patients and their families. I love being a part of their journey in wellness and during important, life-changing moments in their lives, whether it is becoming a mother for the first time or welcoming a new addition to the family. I have two teenagers: a son and a daughter. During our free time, we enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, watching movies, and just hanging out with each other and our dogs.

When I was 16 years old, I had the surprising experience of delivering my baby sister on my mom’s bathroom floor. That moment inspired me to become a midwife and care for women and their families in North Carolina. I am passionate about providing holistic, compassionate midwifery care during pregnancy, birth, and throughout the lifespan, focusing on supporting the family unit. In my spare time, I love hanging out with my fur babies, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

I enjoy seeing patients from a variety of backgrounds and spending time connecting with them and their individual concerns. As a physician assistant, I strive to provide high quality care and prevention to reduce risk factors and improve my patient’s quality of life. I am originally from Massachusetts, but the winters in North Carolina were too good pass up. Outside of work, I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family and hiking with my dogs.

I truly love the practice of medicine and strive to do my best for my patients. I take a team-based approach and work with my patients to find the best treatment plans and individualize care based on realistic desired goals. My purpose is to help you become a more functional and physically better version of yourself by minimizing pain and discomfort when possible. This is done through epidural, facet, sacroiliac, and joint injections as well as blocks, rhizotomies, and overseeing physical and occupational therapy among others. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my husband and three wild and crazy boys. Back in the day, I was an avid soccer player and enjoy the outdoors. My husband and I are also big foodies.
