Andrea Penny, NP

It has been my life-long dream to become a nurse practitioner. Brain tumor patients and their caregivers are the most resilient, dedicated, and hopeful group of people I have ever worked with. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve this remarkable population. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors as much as possible.

I have worked in oncology in various capacities through the years - most recently taking care of people with brain and spine tumors. It has been a privilege to work with patients and their families as they walk through their cancer journey. I hope to work with you on managing your disease and symptoms. Most importantly I hope to grow to know each of you and your stories. When I'm not at work, I'm trying to keep up with my two little ones while hunting for a cup of coffee.
