Director of Clinical Operations
Cincinnati Cancer Advisors
Jillian has been caring for cancer patients since 2004.
In that time, she has set the benchmark for her patient-centric approach in Cincinnati and beyond.
Her professional journey began at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in 1999 on the hematology/oncology/bone marrow transplant unit and later the emergency department.
After spending five years caring for children, Jillian found her passion in caring for the adult oncology patient. Starting as a chemotherapy infusion nurse in private practice with Dr. Philip Leming at Cincinnati Hematology Oncology, she then pursued an advanced degree to offer a higher level of care to her cancer patients.
Jillian has been an oncology nurse practitioner since 2011 and is passionate about patient care, education and staying current on research opportunities available for the patients she cares for. In January of 2020 Jillian and her mentor Dr. Philip Leming left The Christ Hospital and opened the doors of Cincinnati Cancer Advisors. Under the guidance of Dr. Bill Barrett the mission was to improve the level of cancer care in Cincinnati.
Jillian is a national speaker traveling to educate clinicians on the use and management of toxicities of medications that are used in cancer treatments as well as the utilization of some of the emerging oncology molecular testing options. She has spoken at national nursing conferences and sits on several advisory boards. Jillian feels strongly about staying on the front lines to improve patient care and expert advice on cancer.
Jillian was born and raised in Cincinnati. She and her husband have five children (three biological and two foster children). Outside of her love and passion for oncology, Jillian and her husband are leaders on the global outreach team at their church and participate in yearly mission trips to serve orphaned children around the world.
