Being a nurse practitioner has always been a lifelong goal of mine. I have always wanted to take care of patients at the next level and feel this is the best way to fulfill that goal. My philosophy of care is to treat others how I would like to be treated. I strive to be a good listener, evaluate, educate, and collaborate with my patients and other team members to provide a well-rounded approach to patient care. My clinical areas of special interest include general and bariatric surgery. Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, relaxing, and watching my boys play all kinds of sports.

UNC Health contracts with most health insurance companies including, but not limited to, the ones listed here. While we do our best to keep this list up-to-date, it often changes. Professional fees charged by care providers and organizations who are not employed, owned or managed by UNC Health may not be included under the same insurance contracts and may bill separately. Before scheduling your appointment, please contact the organization or care provider in charge of delivering these services as they may be able to help you identify who will be providing these services. Your insurance company can help to determine which specific services, locations and providers are covered by your plan as well as provide you with information regarding co-payments, deductibles or any additional charges that may be your responsibility. UNC Health makes no representation or guarantee of benefits or coverage. Services not covered by your insurance company will be your responsibility.
