The choice to pursue gynecologic oncology has been driven by my professional passion to provide excellent, evidence-based and compassionate patient care. I strive to be a kind, reliable and positive member of our gynecological oncology team in order to best meet the needs of our community. The nature of gynecological oncology care is rewarding in that I'm able to embrace the aspect of continuity of care with each and every patient, forming and building the relationship between physician and patient, gaining their trust and guiding them from diagnosis, through treatment, and onward through their medical journey.

I appreciate so many aspects of cancer care and women's health. My patients consistently say they feel like they are in competent and skilled hands, and that I put them at ease. The patient's goals drive a successful outcome, within the boundaries of what we can do. If a cure is not possible, I try to help my patient identify what goals they may have and balance that with what is possible. As a gynecological oncologist, I research and apply for grants to find the best solutions for my patients. My patients and their families offer perspective to my life every day. I see families rally around their mothers and wives in a way that is touching and inspiring.
