Overview
I practice general cardiology, women's heart health, and non-invasive imaging of the heart (echocardiography). The best part of being a cardiologist is the opportunity to educate my patients and their families, learn about their lives, and watch them improve over time. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cycling on many trails in the Triangle region, and exploring all that North Carolina has to offer.
