“I know sometimes people can feel a lot of anxiety when they are in a medical setting, and I hope when patients meet with me and we get to know each other, they can start to relax and feel comfortable.”
— Lucus
What brought you to oncology?
I worked in oncology after graduating from nursing school, and I always wanted to get back to it once I had broader experience. After completing my graduate program in 2010, I worked at a clinic in Los Lunas, New Mexico, and served as clinical director and lead clinician of a Medicaid clinic in Albuquerque. I then worked in a dual role as a clinical practitioner and informatics liaison to a large group of health care providers. I spent 13 years in family practice before joining the team at Fred Hutch.
What do you hope it's like for a patient to work with you?
I like interacting with people and forming relationships with patients and their families. I understand what it’s like to be a patient and that some of us experience a lot of anxiety in a medical setting. I hope patients feel that I am relatable.
