Overview
I am a pediatrician with a background in primary care who enjoys caring for pediatric patients, adolescents and young adults in the urgent care setting. As a pediatrician, I love the opportunity to care for patients as well as providing reassurance to their families. It is rewarding to give parents treatments and advice that helps to improve the health of their child. I admire the resiliency of the pediatric population and their ability to make me smile even when they are not feeling well. I strive to make the patients as comfortable as possible during our interactions so they have a positive experience with our wonderful healthcare system.

Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center
I am an attending physician in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. I care for children with congenital and acquired heart disease and work with a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, cardiologists, nurse practitioners, and other providers. I chose a career in pediatric critical care medicine because caring for the sickest children is challenging but extremely rewarding. The best part of my job is the day a very sick child goes home. Each child and family teaches me something that will help me in caring for another child. I am originally from Michigan and enjoy having more than three months of nice weather in North Carolina to participate in outdoor activities.
