Here at NW Dermatology Institute, we are dedicated to the development of new treatment modalities. Participating in clinical trials has been an integral part of our practice for more than 30 years.
Joana Fragata Andreae – Clinical Research Coordinator
I was born and raised in Portugal, where I gained my clinical research experience working in areas as diverse as oncology, endocrinology, and infectious diseases.
Life sent me across the skies traveling all around the world and I found my love in this beautiful rainy city that I now call home.
I am very proud to be part of this highly qualified team that continues to be at the forefront of research, always considering patients’ care and well-being first. To listen, to learn, and to grow with patients’ experiences is what makes me feel accomplished in this job!
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, our dog (and sometimes cat!) exploring the magic places that this state has to offer.
Maya D. – Medical Scribe & Research Coordinator
I have been working as a medical scribe for the past four years working everywhere from the emergency department to family medicine and five other specialties. However, nowhere has quite been as memorable as NW Dermatology. Everyone here is authentic, hard-working, and a ton of fun! We truly enjoy providing excellent patient care and making a difference in people's lives. The opportunities given to me here are beyond incredible, and I am so thankful to be a part of the team.
My favorite past times include acting like a foodie, going on adventures, and being a goofball.
Alexa W.
I joined NW Dermatology in September of 2023 and am so excited to be a part of this amazing team! I grew up in Portland and graduated from the University of Southern California with a major in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention and a minor in gerontology. I love horseback riding, reading, hiking, and spending time with my cats.
