About me
I was raised in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in a family that valued physical exercise and health. I spent summers at the coast and winters in the high desert. I grew up playing lots of sports, and continued my love of physical health in college where I ran cross country and track. I knew from a young age that I wanted a career in medicine, I think because I correctly assumed that medicine would provide a meaningful career of ongoing challenge, emotional and intellectual reward. I was fortunate to have attended medical school at University of Southern California, which is associated with LA County Hospital. It was the early exposure to the healthcare needs of a community grappling with poverty and violence and the profound consequences of untreated illnesses and preventable conditions that further fueled my interest in a person-centered career in an integrated health care system designed to address health disparities and promote health equity.
After 15 years in California, I finally made it home to my beloved Pacific Northwest. Although I continue to enjoy travel with my husband and our two children, the time away solidified what I already knew, there is no where more beautiful than home.
About my practice
As an oncologist deeply committed to patient-centered care within an evidence-based framework, I am driven by a passion for improving the lives of those battling cancer. I first developed a deep appreciation for the complexity of cancer as a disease when I took a class in college called The Biology of Cancer. While I found the pathophysiology fascinating and the global burden of cancer staggering, I knew it would be the interpersonal aspect of cancer care that I would ultimately find the most meaningful.
I am ABIM board certified and maintain ongoing LKA certification in Internal Medicine, Hematology, and Medical Oncology. I work to integrate the latest research and medical advancements into a personalized treatment plan that is appropriate to my patients unique needs. I believe that cancer care is at its peak when practiced in a team setting, and to this end I am grateful for the dedicated team I have at Kaiser Permanente. I practice full scope classical and malignant hematology, with a special focus on cancers of the immune system and bone marrow. I practice in both the ambulatory and inpatient settings, providing both in person and virtual care and consultation.
How I thrive
I continue to love and value physical health and time outdoors. I enjoy running and hiking in Forest Park, skiing on Mt Hood and Bachelor, and watching soccer with my family. I am interested in the governance of health care systems.
