I am from Camilla, a small rural town in Southwest GA.

I grew up on a farm, was as active 4-H'er, worked as a crop consultant my Summer job & showed beef cattle for 9 years!

In high school, I cheered, danced, ran cross country & track, and played tennis as a varsity athlete. 

A few years later, I found myself as an athlete with a bucket handle tear to my right meniscus, with a strained ACL, MCL, and IT Band. However, complications arose which lead to three additional surgeries.

Although the road to recovery was longer than expected and hard, the adversity left a positive impact. Through this experience, my eyes were open to the power a physician has to inspire hope within their patients and an interest in a field dedicated to helping people.

I am a HUGE fan of Georgia Football!

In fact, my now husband and I drove 33 hours straight from GA to CA to see the Bulldogs win the Rose Bowl (+ we had only been dating ~4 months as the time)!

I graduated from the University of Georgia's College of Agriculture in 2019 with a B.S. in Biological Science.

In January 2022, I lost my 16-year-old, obese, blind, deaf, and loving Cocker Spaniel (Santi) who enjoyed back scratches, naps, and sitting on airvents. It broke my heart. Dogs should live forever! 

I applied and was accepted Early Decision to Mercer University School of Medicine!

MUSM's Mission is is to educate Georgia students who will become well-trained, compassionate healthcare professionals in Georgia and practice in rural or medically underserved areas of this state.

130/159 GA Counties are classifed as medically underserved. With the current maldistribution and deficit of physicans in the state of Georgia, healthcare is needed more than ever.
