I appreciate that when I see patients, I have the opportunity to truly cure them of their disease. I also have the privilege of preventing cancer on a daily basis, which is truly rewarding. I am able to develop lifelong relationships with patients and their families and am honored to be part of this noble profession.” she stated.
