The experience of facing cancer first-hand as a patient inspired me to become a nurse practitioner. I am thankful every day for the amazing care I received, and that is exactly what I want to provide for my patients. My passion is to advocate for my patients and be the foundation they need when it comes to their health.

Being a cancer survivor myself, I have the personal experience that empowers my knowledge and empathy towards my patients. It is my goal to provide genetic testing and preventive care through screenings and risk reduction options to individualize a treatment plan for each patient. I strive to provide a welcoming and supportive environment in tough situations and to look beyond a possible detrimental diagnosis -- all while seeing each person holistically.
