My personal mission is first and foremast founded in the principles of capable and compassionate care of patients, and on creating an individualized cancer care treatment approach for each patient. I believe strongly in teamwork to accomplish goals.
My husband and I love living in Colorado. We spend our spare time hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and spending time with our dogs. I have a strong interest in fitness and nutrition, and also enjoy cooking and baking.
