She completed her residency training in the combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Residency Program at Tulane University School of Medicine followed by her Adult Hematology/Medical Oncology Fellowship.

Dr. Clark was exposed to the medical field following a life-threatening neck fracture when she was three years old. She made a full recovery and discovered a passion for medicine and helping others. She is excited to lend her experience and expertise toward serving patients across our community.

During her free time, Dr. Clark enjoys cheering on the New Orleans Saints, learning history, trying new foods, and having fun out on the water.
