CentraCare - Melrose Clinic
525 Main St W, 
Melrose, MN 

Overview

I started my career as a registered nurse in 2013 on the oncology unit at the St. Cloud Hospital. I have worked with a diverse group of patients battling cancer. I have always been drawn to working in oncology because I get to provide comprehensive care. Our patients not only require physical care, but also emotional, spiritual and psychological care. I value treating the whole person and meeting every one of those needs.|My philosophy of care is to provide unbiased, patient-centered and holistic care for everyone I encounter. The cancer journey is different for everyone, and I am committed to finding an individualized plan of care that works for each patient. I am passionate about taking the time to educate my patients about their health so they can play an active role in their care.|Getting to Know Me|Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Kevin and our daughter and son. We spend the majority of our weekends with our family and friends. When I have free time, I enjoy reading, gardening, cooking, hiking and traveling to new places. Someday soon, I hope to travel to different national parks with our children and share with them the joy of nature and hiking.

Her clinical expertise encompasses Angiosarcoma, Breast Cancer, Paget Disease of the Breast, and Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
