Biography

I have been a nurse for thirty years. About 20 years ago, I started working in hospice and this started me on my oncology career. I went on to work at UMass Memorial in Worcester working as an infusion nurse administering chemotherapy to breast cancer patients and working with bone marrow transplant patients. I have been at Dana-Farber for four years in my current role. I have been active in the Oncology Nursing Society for many years and I am currently the President of the Central Mass Oncology Nursing Society (CMONS). I have always been active in the Worcester community, serving and chairing on many committees, including past president of the former Worcester Rose of Tralee committee, past parade committee member, CYC parent advisor and an active member of my parish.
