I joined St. Jude in April of 2015 as an Inpatient Bone Marrow Transplant nurse. While working inpatient I helped collect samples for various research studies, which made me curious about Clinical research. My career then led to Infectious Diseases in 2017 as a Clinical Research Associate RN. During my time in ID, I learned quite a bit, but was I ready for an advanced new challenge, and the opportunities offered through the Division of Cancer Predisposition caught my attention. I transitioned to my new role as Clinical Research Associate RNII in June of 2022. I believe the work this Division is doing really helps patients and families identify underlying cancer predispositions that could affect their current treatment and their future health care. Having the capability to learn more about these conditions and provide families with the information and resources they need through customized planning is key.
