Biography: Being a neurosurgeon was my ambition as far back as elementary school. I've always found the nervous system absolutely fascinating. I still feel that way. \n Throughout medical school, I explored other specialties but never found anything as enthralling as neurosurgery. I feel very privileged to care for patients with brain or spinal cord tumors and other neurosurgical diseases. \n Medicine is personal to me. I approach patients the same way I would approach caring for a member of my own family. My focus is always on improving quality of life while limiting interventions and medications whenever possible. I strive to educate patients about their own medical conditions and empower them to be shared decision makers in their care. \n I'm a member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, American Association of Neurological Surgeons and North American Skull Base Society. I have published over 40 peer-reviewed research articles on complex topics such as Chiari malformation, hydrocephalus, subdural hematoma, quality measures in neurosurgery and more. \n My family is originally from North Carolina. I grew up living all over the East Coast, but I am very happy to be back home in Winston-Salem. I have two rescue pups and enjoy volunteering with animal rescue organizations. I stay active by running, hiking, swimming and biking. I also enjoy reading, gardening and needlepoint.
