Why do you practice oncology?
As a palliative care clinician, I assist with symptom management, the emotional stress of cancer, care coordination/communication and planning for the future. I have spent my whole career in healthcare – as a spiritual care provider and then hospice nurse, before becoming a nurse practitioner. I find it deeply fulfilling to assist patients and their families navigate a challenging time. I love that I am constantly learning from my patients and hope to always be growing as a clinician. I am the mother of two young girls. Most of my free time is devoted to playing, learning and growing with them and my husband. We love to hike and spend as much time outside as we can.
