What brought you to Fred Hutch and to your role?
I worked in the field of palliative care for a decade as a nurse practitioner. I really love caring for patients who are experiencing serious illness, so it was a natural fit to move to a role where I help support patients going through cancer treatment.
What do you think sets the care at Fred Hutch apart?
We rely on all members of the team and their individual expertise to bring unique perspectives on how we can best care for the whole person and their family. Everyone is very personally motivated in this way. We all seem to have joy for the work, for doing it right and for doing it together.
Provider Background
Gastrointestinal cancers
I am an advanced registered nurse practitioner who sees patients at Fred Hutch.
I see my role as an opportunity to provide care for the whole person: physically, mentally and emotionally. Serious illness changes how we see things, and I hope to help serve as a guide. I feel grateful that I can play a role in helping people live as well as possible.
I hope patients feel like they are well cared for and that they know I am not afraid to talk about difficult things.
