About me
I was born and raised in eastern Nigeria and moved to Georgia in 1997 as a young adult and nurse. I have had the privilege of living in the southern suburbs of Atlanta, where I raised my family and built my career. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to care for diverse patient populations in various medical settings, and I am deeply grateful for the experiences that have shaped my practice.
My passion for delivering high-quality, comprehensive patient care led me back to school to become a nurse practitioner. This transition enabled me to expand my scope and better serve Georgia's diverse population. Today, my clinical focus is on medical oncology, where I dedicate myself to helping patients navigate their cancer diagnosis and treatment journeys with clarity, compassion, and support.
About my practice
I joined Kaiser Permanente in March 2024 as part of the Hematology and Oncology Department. I work alongside a dedicated team of compassionate professionals who are committed to going above and beyond to meet our members' needs. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, and we make it a priority to listen to our patients and work together with other caregivers to provide the best possible care.
My clinical expertise includes the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancer, head and neck cancers, genitourinary cancers, skin cancers, lung cancer, thymoma, thyroid and endocrine tumors, as well as complex hematologic conditions, including malignant and benign hematologic disorders. Oncology is a special field that allows me to build meaningful, lasting relationships with both patients and families, which I find incredibly rewarding.
I work closely with a wide range of specialists, including those in surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology, and genetics, to ensure that each patient receives personalized, coordinated care. This collaborative approach is essential for managing complex and advanced cancers, and it allows us to develop the most effective treatment plans.
How I thrive
I thrive by doing what I love, maintaining a balanced lifestyle, and staying connected with the things that bring me joy. Spending quality time with my family, participating in church activities, exercising, and exploring my creative side through crafting are all integral to my well-being. These activities provide me with the energy and perspective to continue delivering exceptional care to my patients.
