General Info

Prior to becoming a physician assistant, I was a nuclear medical technologist, which was interesting but lacked the gratification of complete follow-through of patient care and knowing what happened to the patient once leaving the department. I was very curious as to what brought him in to see the physician, overall diagnosis, treatment and management. After several years of feeling unfulfilled, I decided to further my education to become a physician assistant. Now, I have the ability to completely follow patients’ healthcare from the initial visit to diagnosis, treatment and management. Making every patient a priority and getting to know that patient as a person are my requirements to provide better care for patients. Realizing that each person is a unique individual, understanding their specific physical and emotional issues, and not treating them as if they are patients on a medical assembly line allows for more effective healthcare. In my free time, I enjoy watching and attending college sporting events. I exercise several times per week and enjoy relaxing on the beaches of our North Carolina coast and Outer Banks.
