Get to Know Me

I’m 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.

I provide thoughtful, personal care and support patients and their families throughout their diagnosis and treatment. I work as part of a group of experts across different teams. This includes surgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses, and other specialists, who are dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care.

My research focuses on clinical trials related to triple negative breast cancer, a type of invasive breast cancer. I also focus on disparities or gaps in breast cancer care.

Additionally, I am a member of MSK’s Global Cancer Research and Training (GCRT) Program. As part of this program, I contribute to work that helps advance access to cancer care and research worldwide.
