• Provide advanced clinical care within a high-volume thoracic oncology practice, partnering with multidisciplinary oncology teams to optimize outcomes for patients with thoracic malignancies.
• Managed patients throughout the entire thoracic oncology continuum, including initial evaluation, staging, preoperative optimization, surgical intervention, inpatient postoperative management, outpatient follow-up, surveillance, and recurrence evaluation.
• Collaborated with thoracic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pulmonologists, radiologists, and pathologists to develop individualized treatment strategies aligned with current evidence and NCCN Guidelines.
• Participated in weekly multidisciplinary thoracic oncology tumor boards, reviewing imaging, pathology, biomarker results, and treatment recommendations to support evidence-based, patient-centered care.
• Developed practical expertise in coordinating multidisciplinary care for patients receiving contemporary systemic therapies, including osimertinib for EGFR-mutated NSCLC and durvalumab following definitive chemoradiation or as part of evolving perioperative treatment strategies, while monitoring clinical progress and facilitating communication across specialties.
• Recognized the critical importance of timely biomarker testing—including EGFR mutation analysis and PD-L1 expression—to ensure appropriate treatment sequencing and minimize delays in initiating guideline-concordant therapy.
• Coordinated transitions between surgery, systemic therapy, radiation therapy, and surveillance, understanding how treatment timing directly impacts patient outcomes.
• Counseled patients and families regarding surgical procedures, perioperative expectations, treatment planning, adverse effect monitoring, and long-term surveillance.
• Served as a clinical resource for multidisciplinary team members regarding perioperative management and coordination of complex thoracic oncology care.

Provided advanced practice care within a high-volume neurosurgical service, partnering with multidisciplinary teams to deliver comprehensive management for patients with complex cranial and spinal disorders across the continuum of care.

• Managed patients throughout the neurosurgical continuum, including initial consultation, diagnostic evaluation, preoperative optimization, inpatient postoperative management, outpatient follow-up, and long-term surveillance.
• Performed comprehensive neurological assessments and developed evidence-based treatment plans for patients with intracranial pathology, spinal disorders, traumatic injuries, and degenerative neurological conditions.
• Collaborated closely with neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, rehabilitation specialists, pain management providers, and primary care clinicians to coordinate individualized patient care.
• Participated in multidisciplinary case conferences and tumor boards to review complex cranial and spinal pathology, imaging, pathology findings, and treatment recommendations.
• Assisted in the evaluation and management of patients with brain tumors, spinal tumors, hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebrovascular disorders, and degenerative spine disease.
• Coordinated perioperative care including surgical planning, medical optimization, postoperative neurological monitoring, discharge planning, and transitions to rehabilitation or outpatient care.
• Counseled patients and families regarding surgical procedures, expected recovery, neurological prognosis, postoperative restrictions, medication management, and long-term follow-up.
• Served as a clinical resource for nursing staff and interdisciplinary team members regarding neurosurgical protocols, postoperative management, neurological assessment, and patient education.
