I grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi, and I am a lifelong resident of this state. I developed a passion for healthcare early in life due to my sister’s terminal illness. Her physicians assisted my family throughout her illness, becoming family and the people we relied on in times of crisis. I learned first-hand how compassion, professionalism, and medicine can make a significant impact on a community. I attended Mississippi State University and received a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering with a biomolecular concentration. I completed medical school at William Carey. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow during my residency. I hope to continue my practice in Mississippi.
