Biography
I am a surgical oncology physician associate who cares for adults with colorectal liver metastases and peritoneal metastases from various primary tumors.
Some of the treatments I see patients for include Hepatic Arterial Infusion (HAI) and CRS-HIPEC chemotherapies.
I strive to offer patient-centered and compassionate care for our patients as they traverse a complex surgical and health care journey.
Born and raised in the PNW, I'm excited to join the Surgical Oncology team at OHSU. As a research assistant at OHSU, I gained a passion for cancer care and cancer patients before attending physician associate school. There, I found a deep interest in the world of surgery and surgical care. This role is a natural combination of my two clinical interests. Serving cancer patients is an honor I feel privileged to have.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, getting outside as much as possible, golfing, running and cheering on the Ducks.
