Bio

I grew up in what was rural McDonough, Georgia. My childhood was full of great memories. I fell in love with medicine at an early age and the human body always fascinated me. Once I graduated high school, I began pursuit of a degree in nursing. I set goals for when I wanted to achieve certain degrees and met those goals - that is key. I have three beautiful children - Madelyn, Cohen, and Caleb.
