I have two kids and love trail running and eating yummy food!   

Q

Why did you choose your specialty/job role?

A

I have always loved basic science and oncology is a field where we know so much about the biology of the disease but also have so much still to learn.

Q

What’s the most interesting/memorable case you’ve been involved in for the Second medical Opinion (SMO) service?

A

I have really loved the cases where I help decide what the primary treatment option for prostate cancer should be. It is so important that patients feel educated when making this decision. 

Q

What do you most enjoy about working for Teladoc Health?

A

I love being able to help patients during such a stressful time. I love how convenient it may be for patients and their families. 

Q

How do you think patients can benefit from the SMO service?

A

I think that the opinions can help people come up with good questions and topics of discussion for their treatment teams.

What is the professional achievement you’re most proud of?
