What do you enjoy about practicing radiology?
I’ve been drawn to the field of medicine ever since childhood, but it wasn’t until my clinical rotations during medical training that I became interested in radiology. I love being able to make a difference in patients’ lives by examining images — looking inside the body to figure out what’s causing someone to feel ill so that they can get the right treatment. One of my areas of focus has been genitourinary imaging, which evaluates the urinary and reproductive organs. When I was first starting out, it was an area that had a lot of room for growth in terms of research and development, so it’s been exciting to do that work. In this field, there are never-ending opportunities for learning and teaching others.
How has cancer affected you personally?
A few years ago, I learned that a family friend had developed a large lump in her breast. She was scared to see a doctor about it and had put off seeking medical care as a result. I accompanied her on her first appointment to SCCA, held her hand while she got a biopsy and sat with her during her consultation. It was amazing how caring and compassionate everyone was. No one asked her why she hadn’t come in sooner; instead, the care team just rallied around her, without passing judgment, to find the best way forward. As a clinician, my goal is to help each patient have a similar experience. Regardless of your situation or the state of your disease, I am part of a team who will do our best to put you at ease and take care of you.
