Summary

In college, I started out as a physics major but realized I didn't want to spend my whole life in a lab. I wanted to spend my life helping people. That's how I got into medicine. When I went to medical school, my friends thought it was depressing that I was picking oncology as my specialty. But I didn't see it that way at all. There's a hidden secret in oncology: It's a very uplifting specialty. Even though you're working with people with a serious illness, there's a lot of hope - especially when you can give people good news. As the medical director of the NorthBay Cancer Center Department of Medical Oncology, I believe in providing patients with the latest medical science has to offer, along with compassion and caring. A cancer diagnosis is very frightening to anyone. My job is not only to provide them with as many clinical choices as possible, but also be there to listen if they have a question, a fear, or just need someone to talk to.
