About Me

I am fortunate to work with an exceptional team at Duke Health, and I love coming to work every day. I treat children with urologic concerns and adults with congenital urologic issues. Every day, I get to establish meaningful, working relationships with my patients and their loved ones. Helping children while doing stimulating, challenging work is the greatest joy of my life. I often refer to my practice as a team sport because of the importance of having patients and their caregivers on board with treatment plans. I strive to deliver collaborative, personable, and evidence-based care to each and every patient. I grew up in New Jersey but have enjoyed calling North Carolina home for the last decade. In my spare time, I am most often found traveling with my husband, playing with our two young children, and spoiling our Great Dane.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

The goal of my continuing education and research is to ensure that I am delivering the highest quality of evidence-based care to all of my patients. I am very interested in studying how to best manage dysfunctional voiding, bladder and bowel continence, and congenital urological defects in the pediatric population in addition to growing trends in health informatics.
