Clinical Interests
I mainly see children, adolescents and young adults with acute leukemias and non Hodgkin's lymphoma. I also specialized in children with Down Syndrome and blood cancers or blood abnormalities.
Care Philosophy
The diagnosis I treat are complex and frightening at times. I believe cancer affects the whole family, thus my focus is on all members-patient, siblings and parents, other family members as well as friends. One of my main goals is to find fun when we can and normalize the child's life as best as we can. I find it a privilege to be a part of the person's journey through cancer.
Personal Interests
I am the proud mother of two children. I love to be outdoors and enjoying all the beauty Colorado has to offer.
Volunteer Activities
I am on the board of Make a Wish Colorado. As well, I volunteer at our camps for our patients-Wapiyapi and Round Up River Ranch.
