About Me

I’m a nurse practitioner working in radiation oncology. I specialize in patients with lung cancer, sarcoma and blood cancers. Like everyone who works at The James, I embrace the patient-centered approach to treatment; we believe in treating the patient, not just the disease. Cancer affects each individual differently, and each person’s targeted treatment plan must be developed to match their specific needs.

The OSUCCC – James takes this approach in every aspect of our comprehensive care. Our relationships with patients are rewarding, because they’re trusting us during one of the most difficult times in their lives. We provide daily care that helps them have a better quality of life.

In addition, The James provides outstanding care by using the latest research and technology available. It’s all a part of our shared mission of achieving a cancer-free world. I am proud to be a part of such an excellent team.
