I was born in Washington state. At the age of eight, my family moved to Asheville NC where I was raised.

Upon graduation I worked in MedSurg for a year and then oncology at Mission St Joseph Hospital back in Asheville. I then headed to Charlotte where I worked at Novant cancer center. I worked with an infusion nurse, Halen, who also worked at OSC and mentioned the practice was seeking infusion nurses. One day when I bumped into Dr. Favaro, I inquired. He said he would send my name to his administrator, and he really meant it, as I got a call the same day from the administrator to come in for an interview
What is your path working in healthcare?
Or why did you choose to work in Oncology? I love hematology and enjoy learning more in this subspecialty. When I was in nursing, I gravitated to oncology, but also thought maybe pediatrics. Mission Hospital offered me a job in NICU and in oncology, and well, you know which one I chose. I am currenting studying for my nurse practitioner’s degree at University of Cincinnati on a 2-year program
