During that time in emergency medicine, she was also active in sports medicine by writing articles and participating in sports medicine research, helping with the medical tent at the Cooper River Bridge Run, organizing community events for concussion and heat exhaustion education and attending local and national sports medicine conferences. She left MUSC to pursue a sports medicine fellowship, caring for both adult and pediatric orthopedic and sports medicine injuries in Concord NC as part of the Atrium Musculoskeletal Institute.
She served for many years as a tournament physician for professional players for the Family Circle Cup and later Volvo Car Open. She has spoken at national conferences about tennis medicine and is an active member of the Society for Tennis in Medicine and Science (STMS). She is also active with multiple committees for the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine and the Council of Sports Medicine and Fitness for the American Academy of Pediatrics.
A former athlete in track and field and cross country at Emory University, she broke the school record for the 400 m hurdles and was UAA Conference Champion for the 4x400 m relay her senior year of college. She is just as likely to be found on the tennis court as the track these days and has special interests in both running medicine and tennis medicine.
