I chose to go into medicine because it is a constantly evolving field and I love to learn new things. In the field of colon rectal surgery, one of the things I love about it is the diversity and the patient population. One of my passions as an advanced practice registered nurse is taking care of people with a new diagnosis of cancer. Part of what I love to do is to walk them through their treatment plan and prepare them for surgery and what to expect. My goal is to alleviate some of their fears.
