My name is Michaela Bertram. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Michael. We have 2 beautiful children – Beckham (15) and Zoey (13). I am currently the clinical cancer research manager at the Avera Cancer Institute in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. My nursing career began in January of 2009 when I started as a new graduate on the inpatient oncology unit at Avera. I transitioned to cancer research as the hematology research coordinator in April of 2011 and have been a part of the cancer research department for 14 years, most recently as the clinical manager, coming up on 3 years. Our cancer research team has grown from 8 to almost 40 staff. I couldn’t be more proud of our team and the work they do to bring clinical trial opportunities to the patients we serve.
