After graduating college, I attended UVA School of Medicine as a Generalist Scholars Program (GSP) student and stayed at UVA for residency in Internal Medicine. For more than twenty years, I have now called UVA and Charlottesville home.<\/p>\n<p>I especially appreciate that UVA has been a great place to cultivate and develop my interest in primary care. I now practice general internal medicine with University Physicians Charlottesville, where I see patients from a wide array of backgrounds\u2014from university professors moving to Charlottesville for the first time to farmers from surrounding rural areas who can trace their roots in the region going back several generations.<\/p>\n<p>I also value the opportunity to mentor students and residents with a goal of promoting careers in preventive care and chronic disease management. In addition to my role as a GSP faculty mentor, I serve as a preceptor to Primary Care Track internal medicine residents. \u00a0I also precept residents caring for patients at the Haven medical clinic, which provides healthcare to individuals experiencing homelessness. In addition, I conduct regular primary care workshops with our internal medicine house staff through our Office Based Medicine curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of my work I can be found hiking at Sugar Hollow with my wonderful family (my husband Cale, 3 not so young children and two energetic dogs), pulling weeds from my garden, jogging around town (and entering the occasional race I learn about from the Ragged Mountain Running Shop), or trying out a new recipe while listening to The World Caf\u00e9 on our local independent music station, WNRN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
