As a registered nurse at OHSU for the past 14 years, I have cared primarily for patients and families navigating cancer diagnoses in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My clinical experience spans hematologic malignancies, stem cell transplantation, immune effector cell therapies, solid tumors treatments and non-oncologic infusion services. I work closely with patients and families through many of their hardest days, providing education and supportive care from diagnosis through treatment and maintenance.

In addition to my clinical work, I teach Basic Patient Care in the Radiation Therapy Program. Through lectures, simulations and hands-on instruction, I help students develop practical skills and the confidence to refine their own identities as providers of safe, high-quality, compassionate patient care.

Outside of work, I’m happiest getting my shoes dirty while walking my dogs, eating unfamiliar food or looking up at trees.
