Home Town: Lonoke, AR
When I study medicine, I most enjoying learning about: congenital heart disease and caring for vulnerable populations.
Things that make me unique are: I am a Lonoke County Master Gardener, I was a surrogate with twins for my childhood best friend during my 3rd year of Medical School, and I am a Medical Provider in the Arkansas National Guard.
I’m not only a doctor, I also like to: garden, spend time at my family’s fruit and vegetable farm Barnhill Orchards, adventure with my husband and our dogs Comet and Padfoot, and go to Costco – the Food Court Cold Brew Latte Freeze is life changing!
To get myself motivated I think of: the positive and amazing people that I am surrounded by, new goals and how to best achieve them, and how incredibly thankful and proud I am to be where I am today.
