Get to Know Me

I am a radiation oncologist who uses ionizing radiation to treat various types of cancers. A close family member’s diagnosis of cancer when I was in medical school cemented my interest in the field of oncology. I was specifically drawn to radiation oncology due to its collaborative nature, ability to non-invasively treat localized disease, and opportunity to develop a close relationship with patients throughout their care journey.

At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I work closely with medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other experts to identify the best treatment strategy for each patient based on their unique disease profile. Having experienced how overwhelming it can be to navigate a cancer diagnosis and therapeutic options, it is very important to me to establish open communication with my patients, so they are fully informed about and comfortable with their individualized plans.

My research interests are focused on developing a better understanding of novel treatment strategies for soft tissue sarcomas. For example, my PhD thesis explored how certain proteins induced by tumor hypoxia affect soft tissue sarcoma metastasis and response to radiation therapy. Today, my post-graduate work continues to focus on identifying novel therapeutic targets in both adult and pediatric soft tissue sarcomas using preclinical models.

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
