Overview
I first got interested in medicine as a young child after observing how doctors helped my father feel better after he was admitted to a hospital with a serious medical problem. Having personally experienced how much difference a caring and dedicated physician can make to a patient and family, my goal is to treat every patient as I would l like my family members to be treated. I take care of patients with blood disorders such as abnormal blood counts, anemia, clotting disorders and participate in clinical trials and research relating to these conditions. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband and cooking.

Duke Hematology Clinic - Clinic 1E
I primarily see patients who have a variety of rare bleeding and clotting disorders. I see both older and younger patients and also provide help when patients need to transition to and away from blood thinners. Doctors usually refer patients to me. I try to work with each patient so they understand why they are seeing me and what is going on with their body. I enjoy when a patient can leave my office with a complete understanding of what is going on and what they need to do to get better. As a young child, I had bad allergies and spent much time in the doctor’s office. As a frequent patient, I enjoyed spending time around medicine. As I entered college, I found that I enjoyed chemistry and that hematology allowed me to combine lab work with patient care.
