I am a physician associate who cares for patients undergoing treatment for various types of gastrointestinal cancers, or, cancer of the digestive tract and related organs. These can include stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer and colon cancer.

Some of the treatments I offer include:

• Chemotherapy
• Immunotherapy
• Management of treatment-related side effects
• Cancer-related complications throughout treatment

A cancer diagnosis has the potential to impact many aspects of life before, during and after treatment. My focus is to help patients navigate various chemotherapy and immunotherapy-related side effects by providing evidence-based and patient-centered care. Because digestive cancers often impact nutrition status, I also hope to utilize expertise from my background as a cancer dietitian to help patients feel their best before, during and after treatment.

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our Bernese Mountain dog, Gus. I also cook, explore thrift stores around Portland, play cribbage, run marathons and hike/trail run.
