Internal Medicine

I am a medical oncologist and hematologist who cares for people with Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I am fortunate to work with a team of lymphoma experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) to deliver high-quality, cutting-edge, compassionate, and personalized care for our patients. We collaborate with dermatologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, and transplant specialists to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible.

A cancer diagnosis can be a life-changing and frightening moment for patients, and it is a privilege to serve as their advocate and guide during their treatments. My goal as an oncologist is to give my patients a clear understanding of their diagnosis, treatment options, and resources at MSK. I strive to provide the support to my patients that can make them feel as well as possible, so they can experience a life that is not limited by their diagnosis.

My research is focused on improving quality of life for people with lymphoma and survivors of lymphoma, including adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients. These patients are diagnosed with cancer at a formative period in their lives. In addition to excellent cancer care that is targeted to their age group, AYA patients need care for their unique psychological, developmental, and social needs. I work with a dedicated team of adult and pediatric oncologists to study ways to improve cancer care for these patients.

I also work with a multidisciplinary team, including dermatologists and radiation oncologists, to treat patients with cutaneous (skin) lymphomas. We study new and better treatments for these lymphomas, as well as ways to improve quality of life for these patients. I am also involved in clinical trials studying new strategies for the treatment of rare lymphomas, such as Hodgkin lymphoma and T cell lymphoma.

Along with the other members of our care team, I hope to support my patients to feel as well as possible, so they can experience a life that is not limited by their diagnosis.
