Biography

With many years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner, I have cared for patients with cancer across multiple specialties. Prior to joining the Radiation Oncology team, I spent several years in Orthopedic Oncology. Before that, I developed and led two inpatient Palliative Care consult services.

In the Department of Radiation Medicine, I now focus on patients diagnosed with primary and metastatic tumors of the brain and spine, working collaboratively with surgical and medical oncology colleagues to deliver comprehensive and patient-centered care.

Throughout my career, I have maintained a strong focus on clinical operations and efficiency. I strive to work as effectively as possible and enjoy sharing best practices with my colleagues.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring all that Portland and the Pacific Northwest have to offer. My family and I recently relocated from South Florida and are excited to be part of this community.
