About Me

I'm a member of the multidisciplinary lung, gastrointestinal, skin/melanoma, central nervous system, and head and neck teams.

I am active within the National Research Group (NRG), a multi-institutional cooperative research organization, and I am engaged in numerous projects involving clinical and radiation physics research. I completed my residency in radiation oncology at the University of Utah, where I then accepted a position as an assistant professor and served on the NCCN Melanoma Committee.

I believe in empowering patients to make treatment decisions that best fit their specific care goals. By working with the rest of the cancer team, my goal is to ensure patients have a thorough discussion of all available options.
