I was inspired to pursue medicine as a high school student after visiting family in Nigeria. This was my first exposure to how a lack of access to quality healthcare can lead directly to adverse health outcomes and ultimately impact one's quality of life. \n On my return to the U.S., I became more aware of similar patterns in my own backyard. As a result, I'm dedicated to providing quality care for all patients while helping to mitigate disparities in healthcare. \n My approach involves forming partnerships with my patients to help them achieve optimal wellness across all life domains. I am dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-centered care to every member of a family and to athletes at every level. \n I've been honored to receive several awards related to my work, including the Community Cares Award in 2019 for my commitment to the community through both clinical and nonclinical community involvement. In addition, I earned the Dean's Scholarship for Service in Primary Care in 2018 for my commitment to leadership and service, and the Golden Nole Award (2013 and 2015), which was awarded to one Florida State University student-athlete from each sport's team who was a champion and role model. \n My commitment to the medical profession shows up in my service on the nonprofit Mentoring Minorities in Medicine executive board and on the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine's membership committee. \n I moved to Charlotte for my family medicine residency and sports medicine fellowship and have been here since. Outside work, I enjoy traveling, attending sporting events, and coaching track and field.
