Biography
I am a medical oncologist who cares for adult patients with breast cancer and solid organ tumors.
My job involves diagnosing and treating solid malignancies using chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and novel targeted treatments. I work closely with a team of providers to create treatment plans for each patient, manage side effects and monitor patient progress.
I believe that each patient's cancer diagnosis is unique, requiring an individualized treatment plan that addresses both the specific characteristics of their malignancy and their personal goals. As a medical oncologist, I focus on advocating for my patients and partnering with them throughout their cancer journey. I am committed to delivering personalized, holistic care, and I continue to learn from my patients to enhance the quality of care I provide.
In my free time, I enjoy creating new experiences with my family, practicing yoga, reading and paddleboarding.
