About me
I am a surgical oncology physician associate who cares for adults with colorectal liver metastases and peritoneal metastases from various primary tumors.
Some of the treatments I see patients for include Hepatic Arterial Infusion (HAI) and CRS-HIPEC chemotherapies.
I strive to offer patient-centered and compassionate care for our patients as they traverse a complex surgical and health care journey.
Born and raised in the PNW, I'm excited to join the Surgical Oncology team at OHSU. As a research assistant at OHSU, I gained a passion for cancer care and cancer patients before attending physician associate school. There, I found a deep interest in the world of surgery and surgical care. This role is a natural combination of my two clinical interests. Serving cancer patients is an honor I feel privileged to have.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, getting outside as much as possible, golfing, running and cheering on the Ducks.

Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.
