Overview
I am a medical oncologist/hematologist at Duke Raleigh, with a particular interest in breast cancer. The field of medical oncology has always inspired me because of the strength and determination shown by cancer patients. My practice is to personally know my patients and their families. Together we can formulate a treatment plan that is based on patient values and preferences. I also work to incorporate the highest level of evidence-based medicine into our treatment plans. Ultimately, my goal is to develop long-term relationships with my patients and help them enjoy healthy lives. From a personal perspective, I am originally from Southern Pines, NC. Outside work I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. Together we like exploring outdoors, traveling, and spending time with extended family.

Duke Cancer Center
I am a medical oncologist specializing in bone and soft tissue cancers called sarcomas. Sarcomas occur throughout the body, so I collaborate closely with colleagues from other specialties in a multidisciplinary team. I view my role in caring for someone's cancer as as privilege and strive to work together with each patient to ensure the best treatment decisions are made, all the while embracing each person's uniqueness as an individual. I see adult patients of all ages, but have a particular interest in the unique challenges facing a young adults with cancer. When I'm not working, you can find me exploring the outdoors with my family, traveling, and cooking.
