General Info

My grandfather was a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). He influenced me - directly and indirectly - to pursue a career in healthcare. \n I graduated magna cum Laude from Lynchburg College and was named to the Who's Who National Dean's List. I was also in two honor societies in undergraduate school - Phi Eta Sigma (for first-year students) and Pi Kappa Pi. \n In graduate school, I was elected to MUSC's Honor Council and received a MUSC Interprofessional Education Fellowship. \n I've been involved in clinical research since my undergraduate days, when I authored and co-authored papers related to athletes. At MUSC, I was involved in a study on childhood obesity. \n In my free time, I love being outdoors, especially if I'm sailing, boating, fishing or hunting. I serve on the Beaufort Community Sailing and Boating Board. I'm also a member of the Diamond Council of America and am diamond- and colored gemstone-certified.
