I am motivated to unlock the mysteries of human immunology and to understand how to treat the many aspects of health problems that occur in immune deficiencies. My clinical and basic science research goals include studying common variable immune deficiency (CVID). My career in medicine has been a journey. Committed to become a physician at the age of five, I desired to learn how to help people feel better. Over time, and a few degrees later, I discovered the best way to help people through my study of medicine is to not only care for them through thoughtful listening and problem solving, but also to study through an active research program in the lab those questions I cannot answer. I chose to select training that encompassed both traditional medical school curriculum as well as bench and clinic science.

I first became interested in pursuing a career in medicine after being a camp counselor for children with autoimmune type I diabetes when I was in college. I wanted to learn more about and care for patients who had autoimmune diseases and immune dysregulation, which is what led to my dual training in both rheumatology and allergy immunology. My clinical practice, where I teach medical students, residents and rheumatology and allergy/immunology fellows, reflects this comprehensive immunologic approach. Diseases in which I have particular expertise include rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, autoimmune inflammatory eye disease and common variable immune deficiency (CVID). I have several family members who also have autoimmune diseases and I have learned that care can be long term and involve a team approach. As a result, patient-centered care has become a personal goal. Dr. Tarrant is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.

Ever since I was a young child, I dreamed of being a doctor. As I progressed through my medical training, I was fascinated by the intricacies of the immune system and chose to specialize in allergy and immunology. I take care of children and adults with a wide spectrum of conditions. For the allergy side, I manage conditions such as seasonal allergies, food allergies, medication allergies, hives, asthma, and eczema. For the immunology side, I manage primary and secondary immunodeficiencies. I am committed to using my expertise to provide a correct diagnosis. I hope to partner with my patients by providing all the options and together we can decide on the next steps. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and daughter. I also enjoy cooking, baking, spending time outdoors, and traveling.

I love my job and I am grateful for the chance to care for children every day – particularly those with food allergies, eczema, asthma, and seasonal allergies, or hay fever. My patients benefit from what I learn from my research into asthma. In addition to being a doctor, I am the mother of two little boys. I enjoy talking with parents about their children, from both a doctor's and a mother's perspective. My husband and I love the outdoors, and are usually outside with our kids on the weekends.

I feel very fortunate to be in the field of Allergy and Immunology, where I get to work with children with some of the rarest diseases of the immune system as well as kids with some of the most common chronic conditions of childhood, such as asthma and seasonal allergies. It is an exciting time to be an Allergist and Immunologist, with many new therapies becoming available. What I enjoy most about what I do is working with families to manage their child’s condition so that they can focus on just being kids. My husband is also a physician at Duke Health.

Since early childhood, I dreamed of becoming a pianist and making people happy by giving joy through music. However, as I volunteered at hospitals and rehabilitation facilities during high school years, a desire to provide a more practical help for sick people drew me to the field of medicine. Our immune system is fascinating in that you need to have the right balance to stay healthy, and it can affect virtually all organ systems in your body. An over-excited immune system can give you allergies or autoimmune disease, whereas if you don’t have enough immunity, it will leave you vulnerable to serious infections. It is rewarding to see a miserable child suffering from allergies, asthma or eczema become happy and smiley after a little bit of help from me. I am incredibly grateful when I am able to identify serious immune deficient states such as SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency), and have the opportunity to save the child’s life through early diagnosis and management. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my family. My husband and I love to travel and we try to plan at least one family trip a year with our two little boys. Her top areas of expertise are Vibratory Urticaria and Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU).
