Biography
I am a neuro-oncologist specializing in the treatment of brain tumors (glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma). I offer tailored treatments, including chemotherapy and targeted therapies, while emphasizing supportive care by offering symptom management and palliative care to enhance my patients' quality of life. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists, to ensure comprehensive care.
Building meaningful connections with patients and their loved ones is essential to my approach. I strive to provide compassionate support and understand that each patient's journey is unique. I focus on developing personalized treatment plans that address medical and emotional needs, empowering patients through education and encouragement.
Outside of work, I enjoy biking, exploring museums and going on road trips with family and friends. I also love trying new international cuisines and attending live music events. Prioritizing exercise and reading, whether fiction or nonfiction, helps me maintain a healthy work-life balance and stay inspired.
