Hematology-Oncology

“A mutual engagement of care, where patients feel heard and respected throughout every patient encounter.”

— Courtney


Why do you practice oncology?

I decided to work in healthcare to help others in need and give back to my community. I was never a big believer in what some would describe as a “calling” – that was until I stepped into the field of oncology. I immediately felt this was where I was meant to care for patients during this critical time in their lives. I hope to see advancements that prolong survival and minimize the side effects associated with chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant. Outside of work, I enjoy ​​​​​​hiking, biking, traveling and spending time with my husband and two dogs.
