Jamie Mochel, NP

“When I meet my patients, I always ask them what they want to be when they grow up. Getting to know a child’s dream allows me to tailor their care to treat not only the disease but the child as a whole.”

Mochel is a nurse practitioner who specializes in treating children who have cancer. She received her nursing degree from Marquette University and is board certified in acute care.

As a teen, Mochel became ill. The care she received inspired her to become a nurse practitioner who helps children facing life-threatening illnesses.

Mochel uses research to help improve outcomes and quality of life for children who have cancer. For example, she is looking at ways to improve nutrition for these children. She's also investigating whether exercise can benefit patients during cancer treatment.

Outside of work, Mochel loves to spend as much time at the beach as possible. She also enjoys walking her dog, cheering on the Marquette basketball team, reading and spending time with family and friends.
