She spent four years as a Senior Marketing Executive at LabCorp, where she built a foundation in laboratory services and diagnostics. Her earlier career included roles in outside sales and account management across multiple healthcare sectors, including respiratory care, home infusion, and peptides and amino acid derivatives, which helped her develop expertise in both client relations and clinical workflows.

Her professional journey reflects a consistent dedication to patient advocacy, precision medicine, and streamlining processes for improved outcomes.
Jaclyn’s personal connection to oncology was strengthened by her family experiences, motivating her to focus on improving care for cancer patients.

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most is making a tangible impact on people’s lives. I need to see the difference my work makes, which is why I was drawn to oncology and medical diagnostics. My perspective on patient care comes from a personal experience—I was in a serious car accident at 16, spending five days in a coma and six days on life support. Surviving that experience gave me a profound sense of gratitude and a desire to give back. Every patient I work with is treated as if they were a member of my own family, following what we call the “mom rule.” No case is just a number on a screen; we carefully review every detail to ensure patients receive the highest standard of care.
