About me

I am a hematologic malignancy advanced practice provider that treats adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).



Some of the treatments I provide include bone marrow biopsies, lumbar punctures, chemotherapy and treatment planning in coordination with the oncologist. 



I take a patient-centered approach, with particular attention to palliative care and symptom management. I prioritize my patients' quality of life and enjoy building relationships and creating holistic care plans with them and their families.



Outside of work, I stay busy biking, hiking, or otherwise enjoying the outdoors, exploring new recipes, playing board games with friends, or spending time with my partner and our cat Yakul.

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.
