Care Philosophy
My care philosophy is centered on providing evidence-based, compassionate care while staying current with the latest standards in oncology and benign hematology. I believe in shared decision-making and strive to empower patients by providing clear, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand verbal and written education. My goal is to ensure each patient feels informed, supported, and confident in understanding their diagnosis, treatment options, and plan of care.

Personal Interests
Outside of work, I prioritize spending time with my husband, two young daughters, and dog (shepherd-mix). I enjoy hiking, weight lifting, running, and competing in triathlons. I have recently found joy in watercolor painting.
