Biography: It's not often that a squashed bug leads to a career in medicine, but that is exactly what led me to the medical field. I was about 8 years old when I saw that flattened bug in my driveway, and I remember thinking about how its organs functioned to allow it to live before it was squashed flat. I became fascinated with living things and how bodies worked; science became my favorite subject, and "doctor" became my one and only career choice. \n I find myself frequently thinking about the trust patients put into my decisions and care; it is a huge privilege and responsibility. I see my role as an oncologist as not only providing care, but as coaching the patient through treatment and recovery. I'm honored to be able to follow them through the entire process. \n When I am not working, I spend most of my time with my family. I am married and have two children. Together, we love to cook and try different cuisines. Kids' activities also keep us busy; whether they are playing hockey, performing musical theater or competing in Rubik's cube competitions, we are there to support our kids in all that they do. I am also passionate about staying healthy through diet and exercise, love to travel, and enjoy watching the Carolina Hurricanes whenever I can.
