Biography: Originally from Ghana, my parents were educators who instilled in me and my siblings the spirit of service. I chose the field of hematology and oncology because I consider cancer an area of needless suffering both physically and mentally for many patients. That's why I expanded my training to include expertise in hospice and palliative care. \n My goal is to ensure a warm, trusting environment where I can assist my patients in the development of a customized treatment plan while on their journey. And, if their cancer journey is coming to an end, my team and I can offer comfort and support at the end of life, too. Ultimately, it is about listening to your patient and their family. \n My wife, our three children and I like to travel to see new places. I am an avid outdoors person and like hiking and biking. I find the beauty of nature extremely calming. It helps to reset my mind after a long period of patient care.

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.
