Overview
I chose to become a physician assistant in midlife, after my first career as a modern dancer. The way the body moves and works has always fascinated me, so pursuing a second career in medicine seemed a natural extension of my interests. I have been a family medicine physician assistant since 2000 and have served as lead clinician at the Walltown Neighborhood Clinic since 2004. Our clinical site is small and personable, just the way I like it. Taking care of families is very rewarding to me. As my patients have aged, I've taken time to learn more about the diseases of aging and geriatric care in general. My practice includes young children, teens, folks in midlife, and the elderly. I love what I do and feel privileged to care for the people that I serve.
Her top area of expertise is Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).

I also treat downstream problems of ascites, which cause abdominal swelling, or encephalopathy, which can affect your brain. My favorite part is being able to walk with people on their journey toward health and wellness. When you come to see me, you see a team practice. I work together with Dr. Andrew Muir and have since 2001. I hope you know that when you see me, you are seeing him because we are a team. We see patients jointly and collaboratively, and you have access to so many resources, including nutritionists, physical therapists, and referrals we can make within Duke.
