Hometown: Athens, GA
Undergraduate: Georgia Tech University
Medical School: Medical College of Georgia
Why I Chose OB/GYN: I first got interested in women's health/primary care when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer just as I was starting medical school.  I stuck around because  no other specialty let me spend so many special moments and journeys with patients and I loved the daily variety of doing this job - it's the perfect balance of preventative medicine, adrenaline forward situations, and surgeries/procedures - a day in this life usually gives you all 3 and I love that.
OB/GYN Areas of Interest: I want to be a strong generalist that can take care of the needs of a smaller, potentially more remote community. I'm fascinated with high-risk obstetrics and I'm passionate about all women having access to the best obstetric/preventative care and the full spectrum of family planning services. I also love teaching and can't wait to have medical students and get them stoked on women's health.
Hobbies:  I love rock climbing in Chattanooga and try to do a few days on the trail once a year backpacking. I also play guitar; my Tennessee music phase so far has been fast blue grass/country.  Also love to bake when I have the time..

Why I Chose OB/GYN: I did not know I wanted to do OB/GYN when I started medical school, but after my OB/GYN rotation, I knew I had found my perfect fit. Finding a specialty that allowed for surgery in the mornings, clinic in the afternoon, all while delivering babies in between is so exciting. And having the opportunity to take care of women across their lifespan while being and educator and advocate made it that much more appealing to me.
