Biography: Being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 15 months old shaped much of my childhood and rooted my passion for medicine. Growing up in Key West, Florida, I had limited access to specialized care, so we frequently made the four-hour drive to Miami for my diabetes appointments. \n This experience sparked my curiosity about my disease and the medical field as a whole. Eventually, that curiosity led me to medical school. I realized my personal experience with chronic illness gave me a unique ability to empathize with patients facing their own health challenges. Internal medicine is the perfect specialty for me. It allows for long-term relationships with patients and the opportunity to solve complex, puzzling cases and a broad range of conditions. \n Collaboration, trust and understanding are qualities I strive for in every patient relationship. I focus on understanding the whole person, not just their medical conditions. I believe that when patients feel heard and valued, it is so much easier to work together to achieve their health goals. \n Away from the office, family and health are my top priorities. My husband, Jake, and I have twin boys, Ryder and Griffin. We love spending time outdoors together - at the beach, on a hike in the mountains, or during pool and boat days with family and friends. We also love exploring new restaurants in the Lake Norman area. When I get time alone, I love running, cycling, cooking and gardening. I make it a priority to balance work and personal life, so I can stay energized and focused on providing the best care to my patients.
