Gynecologic Oncology
"I believe in building a strong foundation with patients, so we can create a treatment plan they can have confidence in that will both help them and give them a greater understanding of their health and condition."

What brought you to gynecologic oncology?
I have always had a keen interest in women's health and wanted to continue developing a deeper understanding of women’s health care, especially when it comes to cancer.
What brought you to Fred Hutch?
I received my education at UW School of Medicine, and I look forward to continuing my work and education with colleagues at Fred Hutch and UW Medicine.
I was born at UW Medical Center. Having grown up here in Seattle, I know the treasures our city and its community possess: the art, music, education and outdoor activities, from the mountains to the sea. It was a wonderful place to grow up, and I've never wanted to leave.
