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 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.
