The medical profession has always been my calling since I was in high school. As an internal medicine doctor, I treat patients with acute and chronic medical conditions while also providing preventative care. As a Burlington resident since 2010, I feel blessed to serve my community. Each day brings new situations and different scenarios, but adopting an individualized approach that caters to each patient, allows me to provide the best care possible. My practice philosophy involves spending adequate time with my patients, listening to and understanding their medical problems, and developing a relationship based on trust. Helping my patients achieve their health goals is been a very humbling yet fulfilling experience. At home, my husband, daughter, and I, along with our energetic dog, are usually engaged in some fun activity together. I like reading books, practicing yoga, and traveling to new places with my family.

Women’s health was not a journey I knew I would always take, but it is something I fell in love with. I have been fortunate to have strong mentors from the beginning of my career who have helped foster a passion for providing woman-centered care. I first started my career as a nurse in labor and delivery. I grew to love the full circle of labor, birth, and newborn care, and care of the new family. The move to midwifery was a natural step to be able to provide care for women in all stages of their lives. I have three daughters, and we enjoy family adventures, game nights, and movie nights.

I am a Certified Nurse Midwife. I have lived in North Carolina since I was 11 years old and love calling North Carolina home. I comes with a broad work experience, and I have a passion for providing competent, compassionate, and family-oriented care. I feel it is important to empower women and their families to achieve a safe and warm experience, whether it is in pregnancy, birth, or women’s health.

From excision of simple skin lesions to complicated cancer cases, my scope of practice as a general surgeon includes managing a broad range of diseases. In addition to the surgical management of disease, my specific osteopathic training places an emphasis on the “whole person” philosophy. My focus is on building an individualized approach by providing evidence-based treatment plans that fit my patient’s personal needs and circumstance. I do my best to provide such care with open and honest communication in order to create a strong foundation for our doctor-patient relationship. When I am away from work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. I feel honored to have been offered the opportunity to return to the area and settle in North Carolina after my years of medical training and serving in the US Air Force.
