Our patients have long hospital stays. Afterwards, I love seeing them in our clinic and long-term follow-up programs where it’s evident how far they’ve come!
I am a board-certified physician assistant who specializes in pediatric hematology-oncology (blood disorders and cancer). I focus on stem cell transplants at Levine Children's Cancer & Blood Disorders, a facility of Carolinas Medical Center. I am also the lead advanced practice provider (APP) for CAR T-cell therapy.
I have a special interest in:
- Pediatric cellular therapies
- Stem cell transplants
- Oncofertility (reproduction after a cancer diagnosis)
- Supportive and integrative medicine
I understand the difficulty journey of transplantation and cellular therapy. These treatments require extended hospitalization and close monitoring. But I believe this provides an opportunity for continuity of care and the ability to address all aspects of a patient’s physical, mental and emotional health.
I received my bachelor’s degree at Bucknell University and my master’s degree at Wake Forest University.
I enjoy traveling and visiting national parks, and I stay active by running, hiking and practicing yoga. I’m also a registered yoga teacher.
