Care Philosophy
I strive to provide the best patient care to those individuals interested in learning if the cancer in their family is due to an inherited predisposition. I believe that knowledge is power, and my goal is to empower patients with knowledge and information, so that they can make informed medical decisions regarding their healthcare.
Personal Interests
I live north of Milwaukee, WI and cherish daily walks along Lake Michigan with my dogs. I am an animal lover and enjoy hiking, playing games, and spending time with family and friends.
Volunteer Activities
I am active in community projects and events in both Denver, CO and Milwaukee, WI. This includes involvement in cancer research and fundraisers, as well as supporting the local human societies.
Public Speaking Yes
I very much enjoy public speaking and appreciate any opportunity to share my knowledge and passion of the genetic counseling field.
