What I Do

I care for patients undergoing treatment for cancer and certain noncancerous conditions. My role includes supporting patients during treatment and in follow-up care with a focus on symptom management and overall wellbeing. I value a holistic approach and work closely with a multidisciplinary team to support the full spectrum of patient needs. My clinical interests include oncology, chronic disease management and weight management.

Why I Love My Work

While working as an oncology nurse, I developed a deep respect for the resilience of patients and the importance of compassionate, team-based care. Returning to oncology as a nurse practitioner felt like a natural progression. I am continually inspired by my patients and grateful for the opportunity to support them throughout their care.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, camping, gardening and reading.
