She has worked in oncology, both in the clinic and infusion therapy, in Alabama. She has additional experience in GYN/oncology and bone marrow and stem cell transplant.

About Me: Q&A
Why Oncology?
I fell in love with oncology unintentionally. I started out as a patient care technician on a GYN/Oncology floor during nursing school and enjoyed both the academic aspect of the constantly evolving and changing field, as well as the human aspect of being able to be there for my patients during some of the most challenging times of their lives. Oncology, for me, is a unique blend of personal care and cutting-edge research that continues to develop.
What is it like working with Dr. Jonas?
I greatly enjoy working with Dr. Jonas. He is both knowledgeable in his field and charismatic in a relatable way. I appreciate being able to grow as a practitioner and as part of Team Jonas.
