Overview
I am a resident physician at Duke University Hospital and Duke Primary Care. I see patients in clinic regularly at the Duke Primary Care Pickett Road location. My specialty is internal medicine which includes taking care of adults with acute or chronic conditions, helping with health maintenance needs, and providing holistic, personalized care for each patient I see. Part of my role as an internal medicine primary care doctor is to also help coordinate care with other specialties and connect individuals with resources to help live a healthy life. I prioritize sharing the decision making process with my patients and building care plans tailored to everyone's unique needs. I am originally from Tampa, Florida, and have lived in Durham for over a decade. I love the community here in North Carolina and I love helping this community become healthier. Outside of clinical work, I enjoy working in my yard, cooking for my friends and family, and cheering on the Duke Blue Devils.
