Biography: As an adult nurse practitioner in the area of oncology, my first and foremost goal is to be a helpful resource in providing patients and their families with an understanding of the disease process they face. I believe in the importance of providing individualized care in a supportive environment in order to allow for optimal healing. My passion is to provide quality health care while establishing a trusting relationship with my patients. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, reading and most of all spending time with my husband and twin son and daughter.
