I am a native of Tampa, Fla., but have lived most of my adult life in Atlanta. I earned my bachelor's and medical degree at Emory University in Atlanta. I then completed my internship and residency at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill, where I served as chief resident and was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha. I completed my cardiology fellowship at Emory University, where I also served as the program's chief fellow.

I decided to pursue medicine because I love science and I enjoy people, and I feel truly grateful that I enjoy being a doctor. What I love most about my practice are the relationships with my patients and the close collaboration with colleagues to provide the best cardiovascular care possible.
