Biography: I remember, as a seventh grader, falling in love with how genius the human body was. I knew then I wanted to work in healthcare. \n My younger brother was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 9 years old. One month later, my family was in a car accident that led to all of us being hospitalized. These personal experiences led me to choose a career in pediatric intensive care nursing. I wanted to be at the bedside with the patient and their family. Six years after our hospital stay, I applied to pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) school. \n My experience as a pediatric intensive care nurse has taught me that pediatric healthcare must be a unified effort that includes participation by the patient and their parent or guardian. Each of us in the field must do our part to ensure that every child receives optimal care. I believe bringing my personal experiences to my role as a pediatric nurse practitioner benefits my patients as well as my fellow healthcare providers. \n I am married with a young son and a dog. We love traveling, bowling, exploring local parks and spending time with family.

Biography: Having a chronic medical diagnosis as a child allowed me to build close relationships with my care team. My own pediatric nurse practitioner inspired me to pursue a career in medicine.

Collaborative decision making - the kind that includes provider, patient and family - is so important. I approach each patient as a unique individual and strive to meet them where they are in their healthcare journey. It takes us working together to get them feeling their best. \n I moved from Memphis, Tennessee to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2020. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two sons and two dogs. We like to listen to music and travel - especially to the beach and mountains. You can often catch me cheering on my favorite sports teams - the Memphis Grizzlies, the Buffalo Bills and my favorite soccer teams - Charlotte FC and Liverpool FC. But I'm probably cheering loudest at my boys' youth soccer matches.

Biography: Both my parents worked at the local hospital, so I grew up feeling entirely at home in a healthcare environment. I also grew up wanting to go into a helping profession - just as my parents did. \n When it comes to patient care, I search for the "why" behind the "what." I don't just want to know what's going on with my patients; I want to understand what led to their current condition. And I want them to understand, too. My love for pathology means I am always searching for the missing piece of the puzzle. \n I started my career by earning a master's degree in nutrition and working at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville. While there, I decided to broaden my medical knowledge, and I earned my license as a pediatric nurse practitioner. My work in pediatrics is focused in endocrinology and the newborn nursery. \n I am married to an orthopedic spine surgeon, and we have four kids - all of whom love sports. From gymnastics to swim to soccer practice, meets and matches, I spend most of my free time driving carpool. To maintain this schedule, I start every day with 30 to 60 minutes of exercise. \n My husband and I love nature and spending time outdoors. I also have a love for art and architecture.
