I am a West Virginia native, and I grew up in the small town of Bridgeport, WV. Growing up I spent the majority of my time playing sports including football, wrestling, and track. From there I moved just thirty minutes north to Morgantown, WV, where I attended WVU majoring in Exercise Physiology. This was a pivotal time for me having the opportunity to be at place significantly larger and diverse with the student population. It was then I knew I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, in order to care for any and all to live long and healthy lives.
Being the first doctor in my family, my path here was not always linear. Spending time after college as a nurse’s aide, inspired by my mom and sister who are a nurse and nurse practitioner. Having those interactions and direct patient care experience, it was only natural to find myself down the path of family medicine upon my acceptance to medical school.
Outside of my professional life, you can find me socializing with friends and family, cooking, golfing, running, or exploring whatever new adventure comes my way!
