Since 2018, she has served as the Global Initiatives Coordinator at the UB School of Nursing, creating opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience beyond traditional clinical settings. She practices on the Leukemia Service at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and previously spent seven years in rural western New York working in primary care.
As program director of the Family Nurse Practitioner Program and a clinical associate professor since 2022, Oldenburg develops curricular standards; advises students; and conducts research in oncology, survivorship and global health.
