What brought you to oncology?

I have always been intrigued with cancer because it can be so complicated. Because of this, we physicians need to stay up to date on the latest in the field. It keeps us on our toes.

Provider background

Specialty: Medical Oncology

Medical oncology, integrative oncology, GI cancers

I am a medical oncologist who sees patients at Fred Hutch at Overlake Cancer Center.

I like to see decisions as collaborative: I consider each patient’s personal situation and focus on their quality of life, and I enjoy working with a team that’s focused on this, too. I also find my long-term relationships with my patients very fulfilling. I like taking care of patients as a whole and serving as their guide.

Community Oncology

Our mission is to provide patients with the highest quality, personalized care closer to home. As part of Fred Hutch, our community oncologists offer patients multidisciplinary tumor board opinions, clinical trials and expertise in treating a variety of cancers.
