About me: I attended pharmacy school at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, subsequently completing a PGY-1 residency at Swedish Medical Center and a PGY-2 at the University of Utah/Huntsman Cancer Institute. Since residency, I have worked in a variety of solid tumor clinics and currently specialize in genitourinary malignancies. Additionally, I serve as a panel member on the NCCN Antiemesis guidelines.

You should know: Whether hiking, biking, paddleboarding, or camping, I love being outdoors. Animals are a big part of my life and in my spare time, I volunteer at an equine-assisted therapy center. I enjoy trying new foods and keep a well-stocked snack drawer for any hungry coworkers.
