When asked why she chose Radiation Oncology, she states, “Oncology nursing is my passion and I consider it a privilege to care for patients and their families during such a vulnerable time and build lasting relationships. Radiation oncology is a very collaborative specialty and I enjoy working with and learning from the various team members including the radiation oncologists, radiation therapists, dosimetrists, medical physicists, and nursing staff.”
