Biography
2022 Physics Residency Alumna
My clinical work focuses on adaptive and MR-guided radiotherapy through my work with the ViewRay MRIdian system. This system gives us the opportunity, via MR imaging, to adapt the patient’s radiation plan to their anatomy on the day of treatment and enables us to visualize the anatomy throughout treatment. In addition to my clinical work on the ViewRay system, I have a strong interest in increasing automation throughout the clinic to streamline workflows. My research has primarily focused on patient safety and quality management, including analysis of trends and investigation of workflow inefficiencies.
I also participate in the educational mission of the department. I teach lectures for our MD resident physics class, as well as lectures for our radiation therapy students. In addition to lectures, I have conducted labs for the radiation therapy students, giving them the opportunity to get hands on experience with physics equipment and learn more about what physicists do to support the clinic.
