About Me
I am a certified nurse practitioner in the Department of Medical Oncology at the OSUCCC – James. I received my Master of Science from The Ohio State University and have worked at The James since 2009, where I currently specialize in treating patients with breast cancer.
My approach to patient care mirrors that of the leadership and team here at the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center. We put patient care above all else and work very hard to ensure that our patients feel well cared for by their providers.
I love that The James provides such a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, and I enjoy working with others who embrace the same philosophy. My team is comprised of some of the most caring, intelligent and hard-working individuals, and it’s a big reason why I joined this amazing group of physicians, APPs and support staff.
In addition to my role at The James, I’m a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and actively participate in efforts to promote environmental awareness to the Ohio State medical community. I was nominated for the March of Dimes Nurse of the Year Award in 2015 and have received recognition for being one of the top 300 providers within Ohio State for multiple years.
