I have been a nurse since 1979. I first worked in oncology as an office and infusion nurse. I later became a nurse practitioner with a focus on oncology. I love the field of oncology because it is always evolving and never boring. Having worked in large urban and small rural hospitals, I've found that what is universal is our patients' physical and emotional needs. When we treat someone for cancer, we treat the whole person. We are always mindful of a patient's quality of life and do our best to help the patient maintain that quality. We support our patients, celebrate their successes, and mourn with them when things do not go well. My team and I are here to support our patients in every way. We know the effect that having cancer and going through treatment has on their families. I had 3 grandparents who died of cancer. I know how I felt and keep that in mind when caring for patients and their families.
