My Journey in Dermatology

My passion for dermatology began during my physician assistant training when I realized how profoundly skin conditions affect people's quality of life. What started as clinical interest evolved into a deep commitment to not just treating skin conditions, but educating patients about their skin health.

After completing my PA degree and specializing in dermatology, I've spent over a decade working with Forefront Dermatology in Goldsboro, NC, where I've had the privilege of treating thousands of patients with conditions ranging from acne and eczema to skin cancer and complex inflammatory disorders.

Through my years of practice, I noticed a significant gap: patients were hungry for reliable, science-based skincare information but were often overwhelmed by conflicting advice online. This realization inspired me to create SpotOnDerm – a platform where I can share evidence-based dermatology knowledge, debunk skincare myths, and provide practical guidance that actually works.

My Approach to Skincare Education

🔬

Evidence-Based

Every recommendation I make is backed by peer-reviewed research and clinical evidence. No trends, no gimmicks – just science that works.

💝

Accessible

I believe everyone deserves access to quality skincare information, regardless of budget. I focus on affordable, effective options alongside premium recommendations.

🎯

Practical

Skincare doesn't have to be complicated. I emphasize simple, sustainable routines that real people can actually maintain.

🤝

Honest

I'll always tell you the truth about what works and what doesn't, even if it goes against popular skincare trends or marketing claims.

Why I Created SpotOnDerm

In my years of practice, I've seen countless patients struggle with misinformation about skincare. They've spent hundreds of dollars on products that don't work, followed influencer advice that damaged their skin, or gave up on treatment because they couldn't afford to see a dermatologist regularly.

SpotOnDerm is my way of bridging that gap. Through this platform, I can reach people who might not have access to professional dermatology care and provide them with the same evidence-based advice I give my patients every day.

My goal is simple: to help you understand your skin, make informed decisions about your skincare, and achieve the healthy, comfortable skin you deserve – without the confusion, misinformation, or unnecessary expense.

"Good skincare doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. It just needs to be right for you."
