I joined Fred Hutch in 2018 and see patients at the South Lake Union Clinic and virtually via telemedicine. I specialize in gastrointestinal cancers and polyp syndromes.
I became a genetic counselor to leverage genetic information for action, both in the treatment of disease and for prevention. My role is to help empower patients and families to take medically actionable steps to prevent disease and to learn about the experiences, challenges and stories my patients bring.
Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and biking.
Patient Care Philosophy
I see my relationship with patients as a team where decision-making is shared and respect is placed on lived experience. As a health care professional, I am on your side.
