unc family medicine north raleigh

I grew up in a family with several doctors. From a young age, I was inspired to help and care for others, just like my family members. I genuinely care for my patients and take their concerns seriously. I strive to treat them the way I would want my own family to be treated by their doctors. Meanwhile, I emphasize the individualized care. My experience in preventive medicine and cardiology has strengthened my belief that prevention is one of the most effective interventions. Regular checkups, early detection, timely treatment, and lifestyle management all contribute to healthier living. Outside of work, I enjoy listening music, fitness, reading, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.

Having worked in critical care as a registered nurse for more than two decades, becoming an advanced practice provider seemed to be like the logical next step in advancing my career. I wanted to provide a more holistic patient centered care looking at the whole patient within the framework of their family and community. As a primary care provider, the principal focus is on preventive care and early recognition of illness or diseases, education and reducing the risk for complex chronic diseases, disabilities and mortality. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog,. I also love to cook and travel.
