Cardiologist, Electrophysiologist
My Locations
About Me
I am a cardiac electrophysiologist at Duke Health. My parents tell me that I wanted to be a doctor since the age of two. During all my years of grade school and undergraduate studies, I sought to make my dream a reality. When my father died from a heart attack when I was 16, I found myself on the path to cardiovascular medicine. The heart's electrical system captured my attention and presented me with the challenge of learning and understanding it. I was especially curious about atrial fibrillation. Because of this, I decided to pursue a specialty in adult cardiac electrophysiology. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time with high school friends, and traveling. I enjoy world travel and have visited over 40 countries.

Clinical Focus and Research
My research interests center around health care disparities, specifically racial disparities, in the treatment of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. My goal is to assist underrepresented racial and ethnic groups to receive equitable care with respect to the treatment of abnormal heart rhythms. My career development centers around understanding how black and white patients with atrial fibrillation make decisions about oral blood-thinning medications. My ultimate goal is to develop interventions aimed at ensuring that all patients, specifically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, make informed, values-based decisions with their providers about oral blood-thinning medications that take into account the pros and cons.
