Bio
I am a general pediatrician and pediatric hospitalist. I completed a pediatric residency at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in 2006. I practiced outpatient general pediatrics in Greensboro, NC for 5 years. Currently, I work full time as a pediatric hospitalist. I am the hospitalist section chief at Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital in Roanoke, VA. I am also an associate professor of pediatrics at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. I enjoy teaching medical students, PA students, interns and residents on the pediatric inpatient ward.
