Overview
I am a medical oncologist who primarily treats patients with head and neck cancer and lung cancer. I also do clinical research trials. I believe that it’s important to provide all the available treatment options to the patients including clinical trials before we mutually agree on a treatment plan. My primary goal is to provide exceptional care to my patients as well as their families. My focus is compassionate patient care tailored to each individual patient. I am constantly inspired and motivated by my patients and families, and I am very excited to be part of Duke team. Outside of medicine, I like spending time with my husband and daughter, and outdoor activities.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.

Duke Cancer Center
I am a medical oncologist and researcher who specializes in treating patients with lung cancer and head and neck cancer. I’ve been at Duke for eight years. I first realized I wanted to become a doctor in graduate school, because it gave me the opportunity to practically apply scientific evidence to help others. What I love most about my job is working with our research and clinical staff to come up with new and hopeful therapies for patients. When a patient comes to see me, I look at their past and current medical history, review their lab tests, and then work with a team to figure out which treatment would work best for them. If a patient comes from far away, we try to make sure we can fit in visits with all the relevant specialists before they leave. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising with friends and spending time with my children at their various activities.
