Biography

A Georgia native, I attended college at the University of Georgia and continued my education at the Medical College of Georgia receiving a M.D., Ph.D. After completing my residency at the University of Mississippi in 2010, I started in private practice in Jackson and the surrounding areas. I returned to academics at UMMC in 2025 and plan to finish my career here.
