"My passion for working with children, teens and young adults facing the challenges of cancer treatment is rooted in witnessing their extraordinary resilience and strength. At Seattle Children's Hospital, I am privileged to work alongside brilliant colleagues who are equally dedicated to providing the highest level of care and support. Together, we strive to create an environment where our young patients can find hope and courage, navigating their treatment with determination and grace.
