I am a nurse practitioner specializing in medical oncology, with a clinical focus on thoracic oncology and head and neck cancers. I care for patients with head and neck cancers, lung cancers, and pleural mesothelioma.

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, I have always aspired to a career in the medical field. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from the University of Hawaii, where I was fortunate to be mentored by inspiring professionals who introduced me to oncology, a specialty that captured my passion. After nearly a decade of bedside nursing, I furthered my career by earning a Master of Science degree at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), specializing as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

With over 25 years of nursing experience, I currently serve as an oncology Advanced Practice Provider, where I remain dedicated to navigating the complexities of care for patients living with cancer.
