Overview
"I feel very honored to be involved in the journey and care of patients that have undergone or may be considering lung transplant. Lung transplant is considered when a patient's lungs fail despite other therapies and options. Lung transplant can afford patients a better quality of life and seeing this ""second chance"" at life is absolutely incredible and fuels my passion for the field. I am humbled to be working with an amazing multidisciplinary team at Duke Health that focuses on each individual patient's needs are met for the best possible experience. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy spending time hiking and camping with my husband and our dog Eddie.".
