Biography: I became a sports medicine physician because I love helping active people move without pain - from high school or recreational athletes to the pros. \n I have experience as team doctor for a range of skill levels, including the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League, as well as sports teams at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina Central University and High Point University. I was tournament physician for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship soccer finals in 2019. I am a member of the American Board of Family Medicine and have a certificate of added qualifications in sports medicine. \n I am a certified strength and conditioning specialist. This National Strength and Conditioning Association certification means I can design and evaluate strength and conditioning programs for your specific sport, position and primary training goal. This includes sprint training for track and field, resistance training for body building/gaining muscle mass and aerobic endurance training for cyclists and distance runners. \n While completing my medical training, I received several awards. They include the 2019 Society of Teachers of Family Medicine's Resident Teacher Award, the Ossur Americas Fellowship scholarship from the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, and the McGraw Hill Book Award for academic excellence in medical school. I am a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. \n I have participated in clinical trials investigating ultrasound-guided injections in the treatment of frozen shoulder and written papers on concussion evaluation/diagnostics and common medical concerns of female athletes. I have also published papers on the effectiveness of knee arthroscopy versus nonsurgical treatment of nontraumatic meniscus tears and on the use of the ultrasound in treating chronic tendon damage. \n My approach to healthcare is patient-centered. I use my medical knowledge to supplement your knowledge about your specific condition so that we can make informed decisions together. My focus is helping you obtain the highest quality, most affordable care possible. \n My wife, Morgan, and I welcomed a daughter, Charlie, in 2020. We are members of Emmanuel Church of Winston-Salem. We enjoy praying together, studying the Bible, taking walks, listening to music, dancing in the kitchen and enjoying all types of food. \n As a graduate of the University of Georgia, I am a devout Bulldogs fan. Since completing my training in sports medicine at UNC Chapel Hill, I have become a big fan of the Tar Heels, too. \n Finally, I enjoy deep-sea fishing and once reeled in a 5-foot bull shark in the Gulf of Mexico.

Biography: As an athlete myself, I understand the impact pain and injury can have on performance and overall well-being. That is why I am so passionate about treating acute and chronic injuries for children, teens and adults. \n I started my career as a family medicine physician in 2015, when I often found myself treating sports injuries. In 2018, I realized that sports medicine allowed me to blend my love of family medicine with a passion for helping my patients get back to athletics, exercise or even simple, everyday tasks. Today, I remain board-certified in family medicine and hold a certificate of added qualification in primary care sports medicine. \n Patients hear advice every day from family, friends and the internet. My goal is to partner with my patients to understand their symptoms and goals for recovery. Then together, we gather the best information and develop a treatment plan that addresses the symptoms and takes into consideration any long-term impact. \n Within sports medicine, new techniques and treatment options continually evolve to help improve acute and chronic problems. I'm excited by treatment innovations and always look to see how I can transfer these new options into my patients? care. \n I am originally from Roanoke, Virginia, where most of my family still lives. I have six nieces and nephews, and I absolutely love being their aunt. In my spare time, I spend time with my significant other and our two dogs, Oliver and Murphy. We love hiking and walking as much as we can. I also enjoy playing volleyball and play in an adult soccer league on the weekends. I am a proud alumnus of the Virginia Tech women's soccer team, so you can often find me at Virginia Tech games cheering on my "Hokies." I am a huge fan of the U.S. Women's National Soccer team, with personal goal to catch one of its games live in the coming years. When not on the game field, I also enjoy gardening and baking.

Biography: Athletics were an important part of my life as a child. Along with those activities came more than a few injuries which led to several orthopedic surgeries. Those procedures gave me a firsthand look at how important good orthopedic care can be. My goal is to help every patient experience improvement in their pain and get them back to activities that make them happy, which is what my orthopedic providers did for me. \n From the young to the elderly, from weekend warriors to high-level athletes, I appreciate the range of patients orthopedics allows me to see. I want each patient to know I will see and hear them so I can develop a treatment plan that is specific to them and their needs; then, I will answer any questions so, together, we can make the best decision for their health. \n My husband and I have two children, who keep us very busy! They are both active in sports, especially high-level soccer. We also enjoy hiking, camping and biking around Salem Lake as a family, and we can often be found together supporting the Wake Forest soccer team. My large family lives in our area, and we spend lots of time with relatives. When I get time to myself, I enjoy daily walks outside as well as reading or listening to books.
