Overview
I am a board-certified radiation oncologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I enjoy caring for patients with a broad range of cancers. Spending time with patients is my favorite part of the job and I enjoy working with my patients and their caregivers to determine how radiation fits into their overall goals of cancer care. When not seeing patients, I enjoy spending time with my husband on our farm.
