Natalie stays driven by our patients. She strives to do her very best, in an effort to provide quality care for our patients and families.

Anusha Vaidyanathan, MS, CGC, joined Mays Cancer Center nearly 7 years ago as a certified genetics counselor. Anusha’s biggest motivator is to empower people with as much information as possible to help them make the best-informed decision about their health care in her capacity as a cancer genetics counselor. She says,” Genetic testing is a complex process, and educating our patients to help them feel confident and comfortable in their informed decisions is the most rewarding part of my job. Working with my amazing colleagues is also a bonus!”
