I chose family medicine as a career due to the opportunity to get to know patients over time. Practicing medicine is a privilege, and patients make it a joy. True health and healing occur through relationships of trust in which a provider understands all of the different aspects of a person's life that affect their health. I spent the first half of my career in academic medicine, helping medical students become physicians. As much as I enjoyed this work, I knew that I wanted to spend the second half of my career in direct patient care: my true passion. My husband and I are from the Triangle, so this change allowed us to come 'home'. We have five children, who we adore and who keep us very busy outside of work. We enjoy all things outdoors and you can find us on a sports field/court supporting our kids most days of the week.

I’ve always enjoyed interacting with people, and I feel like it is a privilege to care for them at this level. I take pride in the fact that I can usually make people feel very comfortable.

Before I started here, I was in private practice in Florida for more than five years. My wife and I moved back to the area when she was pregnant with our first child, because this is the area in which we wanted to raise a family. It’s a wonderful place for young families and children.

"I'm originally from a small town in Wisconsin where my mother, a nurse, raised me to value helping people in our community. After college, I started a career path to become a scientist but found I missed the direct connections with others. I switched paths and have come to love my long-term relationships with patients in primary care. As I have two young children of my own, pediatrics has become a special love of mine. At home, I love jogging (I never claim to ""run,"" as I'm really not that fast), photographing people, snuggling my kids, and laughing with my husband.".
