Prior to joining Positive Directions, she had many years of experience treating patients with blood cancers. During this time, she became increasingly comfortable managing not only the physical, but mental health and emotional concerns of this chronically- ill population. This experience of patients
facing life and death under her care led to a fascination with the psychiatric component of medicine.
In 2022, she made the decision to transition into caring for patients with co-occurring disorders in a residential substance use facility. She very much enjoys working with this patient population.
In her spare time, she enjoys reading and gardening.
