With over seven years of experience in radiation oncology, I'm excited to bring my clinical expertise into the world of medical device evaluation. I have a strong background in oncology workflows, treatment planning software, and medical device operations, and I enjoy using that knowledge to support evidence based decision making and post market surveillance. I thrive in collaborative environments, have a knack for technical writing, and am passionate about improving radiation oncology devices to better serve patients and providers.
