Spending quality time with my family, friends, and fur family. I enjoy getting outdoors as much as possible, listening to music (especially my daughter playing her violin), and watching sunsets while reflecting on my day. On quiet evenings and when the Illinois weather permits, I can be found enjoying a nice fire under the stars.

As a passionate new addition, transitioning to the oncology team at Illinois CancerCare. Healthcare is an ever-developing world, and the rapid expansion of oncology advancements is remarkable. These developments have given healthcare providers the ability to not only personalize but truly individualize patient treatments. This shift allows for improved treatment accuracy, a reduction in undesired side effects, and better clinical outcomes. Which fills the hearts of patients, families, and providers to the fullest extent possible.

I chose oncology so I may be part of the positive support during one of the most challenging journeys in the lives of the bravest patients and families. Building deep rapport, authentic relationships, and strengthening bonds while giving the greatest, compassionate care.

Open your arms and allow your village in; the engulfment of support will lighten both practical and emotional burden. We are all here for you, let us be.
