Summary

As a registered and licensed radiation therapist, I uphold a high standard to treat each patient with the same empathy, respect, and quality of care that I would want for my own family. I am passionate in helping patients through their treatments and making the process as easy and enjoyable as it possibly can be. I hold dual degrees in Radiologic Sciences and am a graduate of an accredited radiation therapy program through Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. Working in the field for the past 10+ years has allowed me to continually train and expand my knowledge, making me a dependable and skilled member of the radiation oncology team.
