  • GYNONC & REI Fellowship Program Coordinator 2
  • MCG, Obstetrics & Gynecology

I’ve been with Augusta University for eleven years, with the past six dedicated to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Currently, I serve as the Fellowship Program Coordinator for Gynecologic Oncology, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

In this role, I manage the administrative and operational aspects of three subspecialty training programs. From recruitment and onboarding to curriculum coordination and accreditation compliance, I work closely with fellows, faculty, and institutional leadership to ensure each program runs smoothly and supports educational excellence.

With a focus on efficiency, collaboration, and communication, I’m passionate about utilizing systems that allow both learners and educators to succeed. I take pride in supporting the next generation of women’s health specialists and contributing to the broader mission of medical education.

I value the relationships I’ve built across departments and enjoy working with colleagues to strengthen our academic community and enhance the experience for staff, faculty, and trainees alike.
