My career in medicine began unconventionally. While working as a music therapist in Western North Carolina in the late 1980s, I often found my patients' medical histories varied and complex. Although I was able to help them, I wanted to learn more and help more. So, with the support of the medical staff where I worked, I entered physician assistant school at Wake Forest University in 1991. \n As a physician assistant, I make sure your child is the central focus of every visit with me. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Families deserve an empathetic, open-minded healthcare clinician who will support their children as they grow and develop - and I strive to be just that. While not every visit is fun, we almost always find something to laugh about together. \n I'm proud to work for Novant Health Forsyth Pediatrics, where we embrace diversity, inclusion and acceptance for all our patients and their families. I'm also proud of my past service on the board of the Guilford Green Foundation, an LGBTQ organization, and of an article I co-authored that was published in the Journal of Adolescent Health called Confidential Billing Accounts for Adolescents in Private Practice. \n My family includes two children and my spouse of nearly three decades. I love spending time outdoors and watching college football in the fall. Additionally, there always seems to be at least one DIY project going on somewhere in our home.
