Hematology-Oncology

“I'm interested in discovering the authentic you — what brings you joy and gives your life purpose outside your diagnosis. Developing a solid relationship enables me to offer personalized medical care tailored to you.”

— Emily


What led you to want to work in oncology?

I was originally set on a path toward working in primary care, but when I did a rotation in oncology, it changed my direction. At Fred Hutch BMT, we see each patient multiple times a week for months on end. You become a part of their life routines, helping them to manage how cancer affects their life.

How would you describe your approach to care?

I believe in a team approach to care, and the most important member of the team is the patient. The support we have is incredible - which enables us as a team to provide personalized care that each patient deserves.
