Biography
I am a native of Yazoo City, MS, attended undergraduate school at University of MS and then pursued my medical training at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in an effort to broaden by exposure and expand my areas of interest. I then returned to my home state with a mission of providing superior clinical care in the areas of Pediatric and Perinatal Cardiology to the children of Mississippi. In my time here, I expanded the pediatric echocardiography lab, transferred it to digital storage and reporting and instituted the creation of the area of Fetal Cardiology in the state of Mississippi. I have since worked to continue to expand our Fetal Cardiology program with outreach to local practices and those around the state. I take great pride in my role as a professional role model as a woman, wife, mother and physician. I love taking care of patients and interacting with families and seeing the development of these children with congenital heart defects from in utero through adolescense.
