Biography: My high school physiology teacher had an awe and excitement for biological sciences that inspired me. Of course, I may have been predisposed to have an interest in science: My own birth came with risks to my mother's life. And my own. \n No one in my family was surprised when I became an ob-gyn. I grew up hearing my birth story and being grateful for the physicians who cared for my mom - although they'd never met her. I arrived early and unexpectedly while my family was on vacation in another state. My mom was a "walk-in" to the labor and delivery department in an unfamiliar hospital in an unfamiliar city. \n In my practice, I strive to empower women to know and understand how their bodies work. I consider it a privilege to care of women over the course of their reproductive lives, addressing the challenges each stage can bring. \n Women often have ups and downs during pregnancy and postpartum. That's when I can be a source of consistent care and information. \n In my more than two decades of caring for patients, I've won the Central Penn Parent Healthcare Heroes Award, was recognized as a 2015 Women's Health & Wellness Hero by Central Penn Parent Magazine and won the 2018 Outstanding FertilityCare Medical Consultant Award from the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals. \nI'm currently serving as board president for the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals. \n After 18 years in Pennsylvania, my family moved to North Carolina in 2018. My husband, Paul, and I have nine sons and one daughter, ranging in age from 12 to 29. I enjoy caring for my family and watching my children grow. \n I love to watch classic movies - especially musicals. I also enjoy hiking in N.C. state parks and playing what I always hope will be a noncompetitive game of pickleball - although my husband and boys enjoy the competition.

Biography: Both of my parents are in the medical field, and I saw the difference they were able to make in the lives of others while I was growing up. Then, in 1999, my dad broke his neck in a diving accident and witnessing his long recovery inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. I chose women's health because it offered the opportunity to provide continuity of care over time, get to know patients on a personal level and support them as they grow their families. \n For me, being able to connect with women and provide support and encouragement during vulnerable times in their lives is very rewarding. I enjoy getting to know my patients, watching their families grow over the years and making what some consider the dreaded visit to the gynecologist less awkward and uncomfortable. \n As a mother myself, I know how personal prenatal and postpartum care can make a woman feel valued and understood. Having gone through the pregnancy, labor, delivery and the postpartum process multiple times, I can relate to my patients and provide firsthand experience from both a personal and professional point of view. \n Adolescent gynecology, pre-conception counseling, pre/postnatal care, infertility and contraception management are areas of particular interest. \n Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children. We enjoy going to the lake, hiking, biking and traveling. My interests include photography and baking, and I am very active in my church. We made Winston-Salem our home in 2011 and have happily planted roots here.
