“I hope to not just treat a patient and their disease, but also to be with them every step of the way and support them through having cancer.”
— Kristin
What do you value about your work?
I want my patients to feel like they have a provider who truly cares about them and who is approachable and on their level. I value the relationships I form with patients. I also appreciate that oncology is an ever-changing field, and staying up-to-date allows us to offer patients the best options and improve their outcomes.
What do you hope it's like for a patient to work with you?
I want patients to see me as a compassionate, knowledgeable provider. It’s a very uncertain time in people’s lives, and I hope that when patients come to see me — whether it’s their first visit or their last — they feel comfortable asking questions and expressing concerns and feel like they are getting the best care they can get.
Provider Background
Area of clinical practice
Blood and Marrow Transplantation
I am a certified physician assistant who sees patients at the South Lake Union Clinic and UW Medical Center – Montlake.
I have had a lot of experience working in different states, including Arizona, Massachusetts and Louisiana. I was drawn to Fred Hutch because we’re offering the newest, most innovative therapies to patients who come from many places to get treatment here, and because we have a whole team working together to make sure our patients have the best possible outcomes.
