I went into medicine 20 years ago as a registered nurse because I wanted to help people. During my mother's lung cancer journey, I realized that educating patients along their journey was a passion of mine and that I wanted to further my education and become an advanced practitioner with a specialization in oncology. When providing patient care, I want my patients know that it is a collaborative team effort. I will work with my patients to educate them and give them the most up-to-date information. As a provider, I am honored to be a part of my patient's journey.
