Philosophy of Care

"It is a privilege to assist patients and families in achieving their best possible quality of life by anticipating, preventing, and managing symptoms. I truly enjoy working with the interdisciplinary team at Minnesota Oncology to assist patients and families with their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs throughout the oncology journey."

Personal

My husband and I are busy with 3 young children, who are the joys of our lives.  When I’m not attending our kids’ activities (including leading a very active troop of Girl Scouts), I try to share my love of painting, music, science, art and history with my husband and kids by exploring everything Minnesota has to offer.  I am a Minnesota native, and we also love to spend time with extended family, including trips to my parents’ farm in Southwest Minnesota.
