About Me

I am a hematologist and medical oncologist at Memorial Cancer Institute. I care for patients with sarcoma, brain tumors (including glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendroglioma and astrocytoma), melanoma and other skin cancers, and benign hematologic disorders.

My fascination with science and the human body led me naturally to a career in medicine. However, it was a personal experience during medical school that led me to pursue a career in hematology and oncology. When a close friend shared her father’s journey with lung cancer, I witnessed the far-reaching impact of a cancer diagnosis, not just on the patient, but on the entire family. That experience opened my eyes to the emotional and clinical complexity of this field.

I consider it a privilege to care for patients during such a vulnerable time. There is deep meaning in being trusted to guide individuals and families through their cancer journey, offering expertise, clarity and compassion along the way. Oncology also challenges and inspires me scientifically. It is one of the fastest-evolving fields in medicine, with continual advances that shape how we diagnose, treat and support patients.

I believe in forming close partnerships with my patients. I take time to explain diagnoses, treatment options and expected outcomes in clear, accessible terms. My goal is to empower patients and families to make informed decisions that reflect their values and priorities.

I practice evidence-based medicine, but always with the understanding that each person’s circumstances and goals are unique. I want every patient to feel they have a trusted advocate — someone who listens, respects their choices and provides steady, expert guidance at every step.

My clinical interests include brain tumors, and I’m committed to expanding access to clinical trials at Memorial for patients with glioblastoma multiforme, sarcomas and melanomas.
