About me
Georgia born and bred, originally from Augusta, I earned my bachelor's degree in biology from Georgia State University with Cum Laude honors. I earned my medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia with AOA honors and went on to complete a post-graduate year in internal medicine at Memorial Hospital in Savannah, Ga. My residency in dermatology was completed at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. From there, I was fortunate to work with a great team of dermatologists in private practice in Columbia, S.C. and am now elated to call Kaiser Permanente home!
About my practice
Within my practice, I strive to work collaboratively with each and every patient in hopes of achieving the best possible outcomes in their care. My interests include skin care and aging, surgical and procedural dermatology, skin cancer, skin of color, pediatric dermatology and cosmetic dermatology.
How I thrive
Self-care is extremely important to me. During the week, I enjoy activities that involve exercising, reading and spending time with my family. On the weekends, I enjoy live entertainment, brunching, catching up on Netflix and Hulu series, among other things. I enjoy giving back to the local community and am currently involved with a non-profit organization called LAUNCH Augusta. I enjoy traveling, so at least once yearly, I try to visit a country that I have never been to before and immerse myself in their culture.
