My interest in science began was I was quite young, with an fascination for the natural world. Through high school and college that interest, the challenge of an ever-changing field, and a desire to give back to society led me to medicine. I find family medicine particularly rewarding and challenging, and enjoy providing care for families across the generations. I also have a strong commitment to training future physicians, and have been involved in various teaching positions throughout my career. I currently teach at Duke University School of Medicine one half-day a week, as well as support student learners at the clinic. I enjoy incorporating my fluency in Spanish into my practice as well. When not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my three children, horse and two puppies.

As a family medicine doctor, I have the privilege of caring for patients and families of diverse ages and backgrounds. I strive to provide personalized, empathic, and competent care, and I view the doctor-patient relationship as an alliance in which we work together and learn from one another. I work hard to remain updated on current best practices and guidelines while also respecting patient autonomy and attending to the challenges that inhibit the easy navigation of the health care system. Additionally, I have to great honor of teaching medical and physician assistant students and family medicine residents, and I view the education of our next generation of medical providers as a top priority. Finally, my research focuses on how medical learners and providers experience the emotion of shame, and I strive to create safe, shame-free learning and clinical environments for learners and patients alike.
