Biography

I am a native of Mississippi and earned my undergraduate and medical degrees from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. I completed my internship and residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. I continued my education with my fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. I joined the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 2011 after six years in community practice. I am proud to offer high quality care in a tertiary care medical center and contribute to the education of MS's medical students and Gynecologic surgeons. I have extensive experience in minimally invasive and robotic surgery and I am one of the leading Gyn robotic surgeons in the state and southeast. I am passionate about women's health and women's cancer care and strive to continue to improve the care for women in the state of Mississippi.
