I am a senior clinical social worker at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Social Work and joined Memorial Sloan Kettering in 1994. I work with people being cared for by our Head and Neck Medicine & Surgery, Endocrine and Thyroid, Dermatology, and Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery services, plus various consult services.  I was ordained by One Spirit Learning Alliance as an Interfaith Minister in 2010 and have a particular interest in the role of spirituality in the cancer experience.
