About Me
Hailing from the Great Plains of Kansas, my neurology origin story can be traced back to the neuroanatomy lab. Learning about the brain helped me choose to pursue a career specializing in stroke care. Throughout my training, I've seen how devastating strokes can be and preventing strokes from happening in the first place continues to be key in the fight against stroke. Stroke prevention requires the dispersion of accurate information to the general public, and it brings me great joy to be an advocate for the community in regards to spreading this important education. In addition to educating the general public, I am also passionate about educating others within the medical field. Helping to train the next generation of medical professionals while keeping up to date with the latest research is an exciting endeavor, and you will often see me accompanied by learners at various stages in their career.

Ratings and Reviews
The ratings and reviews are based on patient responses to the overall provider rating question from the survey. The question reads: “Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst provider possible and 10 is the best provider possible, what number would you use to rate this provider?” Responses are converted to a 5-point rating system and applied consistently to all providers. Learn more about our survey process. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.
