“I strive to develop strong relationships with my patients as I believe that this will help me better treat them in line with their desires and beliefs as they undergo the challenges of cancer therapy.”

Why do you practice oncology?
When I was growing up, my mom worked in the healthcare field and my dad was a professor working with pre-med students. It was constantly in my house and I just felt pulled to enter the field as well. I also had a family member very close to me affected by cancer when we were younger. She was so strong through everything and thankfully she is alive and well. I remember even at that young age thinking about all the people caring for her and how important it was to have people willing to do that. I remember thinking that I could and should be one of those people. When I was 14, I knew that this is where I wanted to be. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and our two dogs. We love going boating on the lake and on Puget Sound. We also enjoy attending UW Husky sporting events.
