Temple has 13 years of experience as a PA and a decade of experience in Endocrinology. Nutrition and general healthy lifestyle/behaviors are an integral part of her “medication regimen.” Although she has a special interest in diabetes, insulin pumps, and thyroid disease, she practices all aspects of adult endocrinology. It is very fulfilling to help patients understand the “why behind the what” and in turn become very successful with managing their medical conditions.

Outside of medicine, you can find her outside “diggin’ in the dirt” or just being in nature. She is originally from Ninety Six, SC, and loves to visit back home any chance she gets.
