A CU Medicine provider.
I believe that medicine, especially cancer medicine, is best practiced as a partnership between doctors, researchers, and patients. Decisions are always best made as a team effort, taking into account every aspect of a patient’s unique situation!
I enjoy hiking and camping, my Peloton bike, and I love traveling! I have also recently picked back up playing piano, a hobby and passion that has been on the back burner since medical school.
