About me

Caring for patients involves more than just a diagnosis. It’s about bringing science together with kindness and understanding. With over twenty years of experience, I’ve learned the importance of listening to patients’ concerns and needs. Respect guides every step along the journey. I ensure medical options are explained clearly, and patients are included in choices. Support extends beyond treatment. It includes listening and ensuring a comfortable life outside the hospital. I do my best to inform patients about breast cancer research that I am involved with focusing on helping high-risk individuals and preventing recurrence. 

Working in medicine requires constant learning. Building relationships with patients and families is important. My colleagues and I guide, answer questions, and include everyone. The patient’s wishes come first. We simplify complex treatments. The best moments involve feeling heard and supported. My goal is to encourage hope and strength for everyone in difficult times. Together, we can chart a path forward.
