I have been around medicine all of my life. My father, an internist, was a wonderful role model growing up in a family of four girls. In fact, my twin sister and I both chose to become doctors. I grew up in Baltimore and attended college at Emory University. I have lived in Atlanta since I began college, and I consider the city my home. I am married to a surgeon and have three daughters, two dogs and a pony. We enjoy traveling to Virgin Islands and skiing in Colorado. I also enjoy exercising, especially running and yoga.
