About Me
I am a fellowship-trained, board-certified hematology and oncology specialist at Memorial Cancer Institute, where I diagnose and treat breast, gastrointestinal and other cancers. I work with patients to develop treatment plans that may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and supportive care.
I’ve always been drawn to helping others and wanted a career where I could make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Oncology allows me to care for patients and their families during some of the most challenging times of their lives, while also celebrating their milestones and successes. I enjoy the opportunity to help patients navigate difficult decisions with empathy, clear communication and hope.
Every patient deserves to be treated with compassion, honesty and respect. I believe the best care comes from combining evidence-based medicine with a personalized approach that reflects each patient’s goals and values.
My goal is to build trusting relationships by listening carefully, answering questions and making sure patients feel heard. I take the time to explain each diagnosis and treatment option so that patients feel informed, comfortable and involved in every step of their care.
