About me
In my mind, I have been a physician since age five seeing "patients" in my Southwest Atlanta neighborhood. I am the middle child by birth and the oldest by attitude! I grew up with an extremely large extended family in the Atlanta area surrounded by the culture of the Civil Rights movement, the World of Coca Cola, and Six Flags. At age 10, my mother took our Girl Scout troop to an Ob/Gyn for "the talk." It was the same year I suffered from my first period and also lost my ability to walk. At 12 years old, my classmate had her first child in middle school. Through these experiences, I learned the vulnerability of being a patient and the bias of the health care system. I spent most of my high school and college years educating young women about their bodies and choices. I decided to become an Ob/Gyn to continue caring for women. Despite my own struggles with brain surgeries and endometriosis, I have the joy of being the mom of one son. We live in Southwest Atlanta, not far from where I grew up, and I am happy to live and provide care for the same community that shaped me into the woman I am today.
About my practice
I have been a practicing Ob/Gyn since 2011 and I joined Kaiser Permanente in February 2023. I am a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, American Medical Association, and Medical Association of Georgia. I approach patient care with a sisterly approach and treat everyone how I would want my grandmother, Big Nellie, to be treated. My favorite part of being an Ob/Gyn is witnessing the joy of a new mom or the freedom of a woman whose life is no longer limited by her uterus. I am looking forward to partnering with you on your health care journey!
How I thrive
I thrive by escaping in books or on planes. A great e-book, glass of wine, and a candle curled up next to my fur babies will solve most stressors. You may also find me with my sorority sisters at brunch or at the latest trendy restaurant. I am convinced my dog and two cats are the coolest animals east of the Mississippi! I travel as much as I can, even catching the red eye to get to the West Coast, Canada, or island hopping. My son and I are roller coaster fanatics. There's nothing like dropping 450 feet at 120 mph to get your blood flowing! Weekend trips to various amusement parks are so much fun for us - What a way to feel alive!
