In Your Own Words...
Are you new to Richmond? Where were you previously?
I've been in Richmond since graduating medical school in 2018. I am from a small town in South Carolina and then moved right outside of Atlanta for college. I love the small town feel that Richmond has plus the amenities of a city.
Describe your role in your own words
I see a combination of inpatients and outpatients and am based at a number of clinics including Hayes Willis, Jackson Center and the main hospital campus. I am trained in Consultation Liaison psychiatry, meaning I work with patients who have both medical and psychiatric illnesses.
Most exciting and/or challenging part of your position?
I love seeing and identifying improvements in a patient's life when they are able to get quality medical and psychiatric care. I like being a part of a patient's care team to get them feeling like themselves again.
What do you do for fun outside of work?
Outside of work, I'm usually listening to a podcast about true crime or exploring area restaurants and events with my family and friends.
