About Me
I’m a nurse practitioner in the Division of Medical Oncology at The James. After graduating from Wright State University in the highly competitive BEACON program, I went on to receive my master’s degree in the Family Nurse Practitioner program at Wright State. I was then accepted into the APP Oncology Fellowship at The Ohio State University, where I completed a year of specialty training in oncology.
I currently work at the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center treating patients with breast cancer. I am part of a multidisciplinary team of talented people who work together to achieve the best possible outcome for each of our patients. Care is truly individualized for each patient at The James, and the physicians, nurses and other staff members are knowledgeable, compassionate and among the best of the best in cancer treatment.
I have the privilege of getting to know and care for my patients at a challenging time in their lives, and it’s incredibly rewarding. Working at the OSUCCC – James has also allowed me to take on a leadership role as a preceptor for APP fellows, new nurse practitioners and nurse practitioner students.
