About Me

I am a Physician Assistant who recently graduated from Elon University. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in exercise science from High Point University, which is what initially brought me down to North Carolina from Massachusetts. I was drawn to family medicine because of the personal relationships that are cultivated with patients over years of working together. I evaluate and treat patient of all ages, those with acute and chronic conditions, and perform annual physical and women’s health exams. My goal is to treat each and every patient as an individual to best promote a healthy and happy life!
