Marissa Gonzalez, BSN, RN, OCN, is a dedicated oncology nurse navigator with nine years of experience, currently serving patients at Daymark Health. She has worked across inpatient, post-acute, outpatient, and in-home care, with expertise in medical-surgical nursing, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and oncology patient navigation.

Her passion for oncology care was inspired by her grandmother’s battle with cancer, motivating her to provide compassionate, patient-centered care. Marissa collaborates closely with interdisciplinary teams—including nurse navigators, pharmacists, hematologists, and oncologists—to ensure each patient receives individualized, coordinated support throughout their cancer journey.

Marissa began her career at Miriam Hospital in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, refining her skills on a medical-surgical floor. She later transitioned to South County Health, administering chemotherapy and immunotherapy while mentoring new nurses through the oncology preceptorship program. Additional experience at Kent Hospital’s infusion center further strengthened her expertise in oncology care and patient education.

Beyond nursing, Marissa pursues her passion for photography through Marissa Ashtyn Images, a business branding photography service supporting companies and nurse entrepreneurs. Through her dual focus on patient care and creative entrepreneurship, she exemplifies excellence, empathy, and mentorship in both her professional and personal pursuits.
