Get to Know Me

I am a medical oncologist who cares for people with genitourinary cancers, including prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer.

My interest in oncology stemmed from being a young adult caregiver for my own grandparents as they faced cancer and complex illnesses. They were immigrants with limited means, and that experience makes me committed to delivering the quality of care for my patients that I wish my grandparents had access to back then.

As we have more effective options for treating cancer, I focus on guiding people through the benefits, potential side effects, and quality of life implications of their unique cancer journey. One of the joys of being a genitourinary medical oncologist is collaborating closely with our excellent radiation oncology and urologic surgery colleagues and bringing new treatments to patients through clinical trials.

I am also a member of the Acute and Supportive Care service at MSK where I conduct research to develop more patient-centered ways of caring for people with cancer, preventing them from being hospitalized, delivering home-based and virtual care, and improving survivorship. I also have an interest in cancer rehabilitation and geriatric oncology, or the cancer care of older adults. I believe strongly that preserving function and quality of life as patients go through cancer treatment and survivorship is essential.

Before coming to MSK, I was on the faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. I completed my oncology fellowship at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Mass General Brigham combined program, funded by a National Cancer Institute research fellowship in oncology population sciences and a Conquer Cancer Foundation Career Pathway Grant in Symptom Management. 

What I Do at MSK

I'm a genitourinary (GU) medical oncologist, which is a cancer doctor who specializes in genitourinary (jeh-nih-toh-YOOR-ih-nayr-ee) cancers. This includes bladder, kidney, penis, prostate, and testicular cancers.
