Biography

As a medical dosimetrist at OHSU, I develop radiation treatment plans that support high-quality patient care. With more than 20 years of experience in radiation oncology, I have expertise in advanced treatment planning techniques, including stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy.

In addition to my clinical work, I teach and mentor medical physics and radiation therapy students and enjoy sharing knowledge with colleagues and future professionals in the field.
