“I know how intimidating navigating health care can be, so I always do my best to be an advocate and a reliable source of knowledge for my patients.”

— Quanté


What do you value about your work?

I like to understand all aspects of my patients’ lives. I think treating a person’s disease is only one component of their care. The most important part is forming a relationship with patients and understanding how their lives impact their health. I am also really focused on health education and making sure patients have all the resources they need to have a successful outcome.

My uncle was diagnosed with cancer during the height of the pandemic. It was a scary and unnerving time for him. He had very limited experience with the health care system, so being a resource for him was really important for me.

What do you like about providing care at Fred Hutch?

Fred Hutch is not only invested in patients, but also in the people who work with patients. Supporting the people who assist patients is good for patient care.

We are also always seeking ways to improve every aspect of the care we provide, which is important for those who are living with cancer.

Provider Background

Area of Clinical Practice
Genitourinary cancers

I am a certified physician assistant who sees patients at the South Lake Union Clinic.

As an internal medicine physician assistant working in rehabilitation medicine, I often treated patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Many patients had prostate and bladder cancer, and this spurred my interest in learning more about how these conditions are managed.
