Philosophy

My philosophy is to offer compassionate, evidence-based medical oncology care to my patients, while educating them and their families about their disease, treatment, and overall care.

Personal

Personal time is spent with my husband and three young sons – Weston, Max, and Cooper. I am a voracious reader of literature and also enjoy gourmet cooking, travel to warm, child-friendly destinations and quilting. I spend whatever time is left working out on my ellipse machine.
