Hematology-Oncology

“I am driven to listen to my patients’ needs and goals and advocate for them by providing evidence-based, quality care.”

— Jane


Why did you choose to work in cancer care?

Even as a young child, I was interested in medicine. At age 15, I began volunteering in the oncology unit at Evergreen Hospital. It opened my eyes to the difficult journey that cancer patients are on and inspired me to find a way I could help. I started my career as a registered nurse and worked in oncology for several years before becoming a nurse practitioner. My role as a nurse practitioner is very rewarding because I build strong relationships with patients and families while supporting them throughout the course of their treatment.

How do you respond when a patient wonders how cancer will affect their life?

This diagnosis can change your world. As a health care provider, I strive to communicate transparently with you and ensure you are completely informed before you make any decisions. I try to answer all your questions while taking into account the life you lead, because everybody is different. I think my patients appreciate that I’m honest and the fact that their needs are my top priority.

My role as an advanced registered nurse practitioner in hematologic malignancies is to provide evidence-based care, to ensure that the quality of care you receive is excellent and to make sure that I advocate for you to the best of my ability — whatever your individual needs and goals may be.
