What is your path working in healthcare? Or why did you choose to work in
Oncology? I have always worked my nursing career in oncology. What inspired me
was when I was doing rotations before graduation, the field of oncology was my
calling. I felt this from the Lord. My husband, who is a respiratory therapist, and I
lived in Maine and did traveling nurses jobs. We came to Charlotte in 2016 where
I worked at the hospital’s in-patient care unit. I worked alongside Dr. Shehadeh
and that is how I came to OSC.
What can you share about OSC that that sets us apart from other medical groups?
There are specific connections here at OSC amongst the nurses, doctors, and
administrative staff. They treat you like family. We really, really follow our
patients and they express that they are truly cared for.

the ocean, hiking, outdoors, snorkeling and singing. I love being a mom of a

toast is my go-to. Also plain tortilla chips.
