I am a general medical oncologist with an interest and research focus in gastrointestinal malignancies and sarcoma. I was born and raised in Akron, Colorado, completed my undergraduate educate at the University of Colorado in Boulder, attended the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, and performed my internship and residency at the University of Colorado Hospital in Internal Medicine. After serving as a Chief Medical Resident, I finished off my formal education with the Hematology and Oncology Fellowship program at the University of Colorado.

Once I completed my education and training, I took a position with Banner MD Anderson Cancer Centers in Greeley and Loveland, Colorado. My goal is to bring cutting edge research and specialized care to the communities of northern and eastern Colorado. Having grown up in northeastern Colorado, I pride myself in being able to connect on a personal level with my patients. I am honored to serve this community.
