Philosophy of care:

I am interested in incorporating complimentary and alternative medicine to optomize our patients' treatment regimens. I hope to be formally trained in this area some day. I have been providing oncology care since entering the field of nursing in 1999 as a registered nurse. Another goal of mine is to also become certified as an Oncology Nurse Practitioner.
