Get to Know Me

I am a breast medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), who diagnoses and treats people for breast cancer. I see patients at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center in New York City.

I am devoted to providing personalized, compassionate care and supporting patients and their families throughout their diagnosis and treatment. I work as part of a group of experts across different teams, including surgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses, and other specialists who are dedicated to delivering the highest quality care together.

My research focuses on clinical trials related to hormone receptor–positive breast cancer, with an emphasis on understanding and overcoming treatment resistance. As a member of MSK’s Global Cancer Research and Training (GCRT) Program, I am also committed to advancing access to cancer care and research in diverse communities worldwide.
