Question: What brought you to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center?

Answer: I'm originally from the East Coast but wanted to come to North Carolina because my husband's family lives in Robeson County. In addition, the state has great primary care medical schools.

Q: What are your clinical specialties?

A: I specialize in maternal-fetal medicine, maternal child health policy and family medicine.

Q: What is your patient care philosophy?

A: I consider myself a consultant. My job is to provide information and advice, but I let patients make their own decisions about their health care. I also believe strongly in prevention and the importance of non-pharmacologic treatment/management of medical conditions.

Q: What do you enjoy most about working with patients?

A: The relationships I develop with my patients. I learn something from them every day and hear wonderful stories.

Q: In what type of volunteer or community activities are you involved?

A: I am active in the ongoing development of the Southside Health and Wellness Center, a promising community clinic in Winston-Salem. I also am on the board of Centering Healthcare Institute, a nonprofit organization seeking to increase the role of group visits in health care. Whenever possible, I try to help at my children's schools and at church, too.

Q: What fun facts should we know about you?

A: I love to cook (and eat!), and I love music. I'm also an amateur gardener and guitar player.
