During her freshman year in nursing school, Laura’s aunt was diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer. She was deeply moved by the relationship her aunt developed with the oncology nurses who cared for her. It was this experience that inspired Laura to specialize in oncology.  She follows a patient-first philosophy, stating, “I know that the patients I see are going through difficult and sometimes very scary disease processes and treatments. I hope to provide them with the best possible care to make these times easier for them.  This has guided my entire career.”
