What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

I decided to become an Oncology Nurse Practitioner because I wanted to have more of an impact on patient care.

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

I love the relationship that is built between patient and healthcare provider. Every patient is unique and brings a different experience. This allows me to continuously grow and provide the best care possible to our oncology patients.

How do you connect with your patients?

I connect with my patients by actively listening and allowing them time to express all their concerns.

What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?

I am an avid reader. Some of my favorite authors include Stephen King and Kate Morton.

What is your advice for your patients?

Take it one day at a time.
