Advanced Practice Clinician
Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP)
I have worked at Fox Chase Cancer Center for over a decade – first as a staff nurse and now as a nurse practitioner. I would not have remained at the same place for so long if I didn’t strongly feel our patients get optimal care. Fox Chase has the unique combination of cutting edge academic research along with a small, warm, friendly environment – the best of both worlds. I am part of the Supportive Oncology and Palliative Care Program (formerly the Pain and Palliative Care Program) and in this capacity I have the honor of working with patients to alleviate symptoms and offer support across the cancer continuum.
