About me

I am a physician assistant who sees patients with solid tumors. I focus on patients with gastrointestinal cancers, including:

I started at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute in 2010 as a clinical research coordinator. I left OHSU in 2014 to enroll in Duke University's Physician Assistant Program and became a board-certified Physician Assistant (PA) in 2016. I returned to the Knight Cancer Institute’s Medical Oncology Department in late 2016.

I very much enjoy building relationships with patients and their families in our clinic. My primary focus is to help patients achieve their treatment-related goals while maximizing their quality of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing a variety of musical instruments, spending time with my family and working in the garden.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.
