Treatment Philosophy
I chose to pursue my Nurse Practitioner career at Fox Chase Cancer Center after completing part of my clinical training here. I was impressed by the collaboration between all the members of the healthcare team and the quality of care provided. I am excited to be part of the team that implements innovative research, provides individualized treatment plans, and helps patients feel listened to. With several years of inpatient nursing oncology experience, I am humbled to continue to help guide patients through their cancer care as an advanced practice provider.
