About Kelly
Driven by Supporting Patient Journeys
As an Advanced Practice Nurse in the Gamma Knife Center, I provide comprehensive follow-up care for patients throughout their treatment journey and beyond. With almost 20 years of nursing experience, over 10 years as a Gamma Knife nurse and more than 2 years as a Nurse Practitioner in Radiation Oncology, I bring a deep understanding of both the clinical and patient-centered aspects of care. I work closely with our radiation oncology and neurosurgical teams to streamline communication, coordinate care, provide symptom management and ensure each patient receives seamless, personalized support at every stage of treatment and recovery.
