Clinical Interests
My clinical interest is in childhood leukemia and lymphoma and associated side effects and infections related to therapy.

Care Philosophy
I love pediatric oncology because I am often given the opportunity and privilege to offer hope during a time often tied to fear. I am grateful and honored that families place trust in me to help them to choose the most appropriate treatment for their child and to journey with them during the course of their treatment. Each family’s values and goals are unique and each child is an individual and I embrace the opportunity to better understand the child and their family and how I can best help them through and beyond cancer therapy.

Personal Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy family time with my husband and three children, church activities, and skiing and hiking in Colorado.
