She began her postgraduate training with a residency at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, during which she conducted research into stem cell transplantation at University of Minnesota.

She has completed fellowships in oncology/hematology at Loma Linda University and in bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy at City of Hope.
Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
