Hematology-Oncology
I have had several close family members and friends diagnosed with cancer. Seeing their lives changed by the medical system, and how a strong team can have a major impact on patients’ experiences, made me want to be a part of oncology care.
Fred Hutch has the capacity to treat patients holistically, with everything under the same roof. Having an entire department striving toward the same goals streamlines care, and I think this is good for both patients and clinicians. I am excited to be surrounded by a collaborative team in a teaching hospital.
Area of Clinical Practice
Hematology-oncology
I am a certified physician assistant who sees patients at the South Lake Union Clinic.
Hematology-oncology has been of interest to me since I was in school, partly stemming from having a friend who was coping with lymphoma. I was drawn to the team atmosphere of Fred Hutch.
