I’m a general cardiologist and clinician-educator at Emory University/Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.
At Grady Memorial Hospital, I care for patients with cardiovascular disease and help lead our outpatient clinic. I’m also interested in treating obesity and cardiometabolic disease. I feel fortunate to serve our patient population and to work with amazing team members.
At Emory, I am an Associate Program Director for our fellowship and Core Faculty for our IM residents. I also co-direct our M1 Cardiology Course. I enjoy teaching learners at every level, though admittedly interns may be my favorite group to work with!
Cardio-Q comes from the questions that arose for me while seeing patients and precepting fellows in clinic. I started looking up answers to hone my practice of evidence-based medicine as well as model lifelong learning. Now, this website collects and shares these queries so other fellows, physicians, and cardiovascular team members can learn from them, too.
At home, my husband is a lawyer, and we’ve got two little kids aged 3 years and 8 months old. I’m so grateful for the family I grew up with and the family I have now, including their support for this passion project! When I’m not with my family, I’m usually reading or working on a jigsaw puzzle.
