About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Assistant Attending Physician
Get To Know Me

I am a hematologist and medical oncologist with expertise in leukemia, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), Richter’s transformation, and lymphoproliferative disorders. I am deeply committed to partnering with my patients and their families through every stage of their cancer journey while delivering high-quality, thoughtful care.

As a clinical researcher and member of the CLL program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I develop and lead clinical trials that bring cutting-edge treatments to patients with CLL/SLL and Richter’s transformation. Along with a team of dedicated doctors, nurses, and scientists, I am working to move the field forward with innovative approaches, including novel agents and immunotherapies.

I am deeply invested in providing care for the whole person, and I understand the profound impact that cancer diagnosis can have on a person’s life — including their emotional and physical health. I strive to communicate clearly and honestly as I work with each individual to tailor a treatment plan that honors their priorities.
