I joined Memorial Sloan Kettering as an oncology nurse in 2005 and became a nurse practitioner in 2011. I became an oncology nurse, and eventually a nurse practitioner, because I wanted to be able to care for my patients in a way that would bring them comfort, ease, and confidence while battling a difficult situation.
