Lab Technician, in the south Charlotte office. I started working at OSC a year and 3 months ago. I came around the same time that Dr. Dallas started
What is your background? Where have you lived?
My family moved from Newark, NJ to the Charlotte area 33 years ago. We lived in Kings Mountain, NC where I went to high school. Currently I reside in Gastonia. I have one child, an amazing son who is the backbone in my life!
What is your path working in healthcare and specifically cancer care?
I have been in the medical field in Charlotte for over 20 years, having worked mostly at Novant Health facilities. I am a phlebotomist and work in labs for various areas of care; adults, peds, and at the hospital. Prior to joining OSC, I was at Novant Health Cancer Institute, and I worked with oncologists Dr. Shehadeh and Dr. Dallas when they were at Novant. I followed them over to OSC. I love these docs! I was interested in oncology after seeing my aunt go through breast cancer. Back then I did not have the knowledge I have now about the medications and side effects. My aunt is doing better, she is a breast cancer survivor. Because of her I get a mammogram every year. Outside of healthcare, my passion is my hair business, Julia’s Hair Collection, named after my late mother Julia. I help women feel good about their hairstyles and find the right hair look by styles, weaves, and wigs. I have a following of nurses that I help with their hair

A TV show called Girlfriends, and I also like BMF series (Black Mafia Family). I like the movie Scarface and The Sopranos, but not for the violence, for the hustling in the shows
