“You are the center of an amazing team that is focused on one goal: you.”

What's it like working with you?

Years ago, a mentor taught me to always get to know my patients beyond their diagnosis. No one wants their disease to define who they are, and I want to get to know the real you — what excites you and what makes your life meaningful. Building a strong relationship allows me to provide you with the best, most individualized medical care. I will work to understand your values, goals and concerns, so I can help you make decisions and prepare for your treatment.

How do you help patients?

My favorite patient stories always involve laughter. I’m a firm believer in the power of humor, sarcasm and a thoughtfully placed joke. There is a time and place for everything, but I believe that humor can provide lightness during hard times and help restore hope. Together, we will work as a team, creating a warm experience for you while easing your fears and laughing as much as possible.

Provider Background

Adult Blood and Marrow Transplant

During my clinical training, I was able to spend one of my rotations with the Fred Hutch Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) team. I enjoy making meaningful patient connections and was immediately drawn to the team’s focus on building strong relationships with every patient, as well as the dynamic complexity and detail-oriented nature of transplant medicine. The BMT patients I cared for left a lasting impact on me, which ultimately brought me back to this specialty.
