I am a Social Work Manager at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where I oversee social work staff working with patients receiving care from our inpatient neurology, neurosurgery, and supportive care teams. I provide counseling, as well as psychoeducational, navigational, and practical guidance to patients and their families.

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice and have been with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) since 2023. Before MSK, I worked at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia working with Traumatic Brain Injury patients and their families. Then, I transitioned to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where I supported and counseled children and young adults with cancer, caregivers, and those who lost loved ones. I also facilitated caregiver support groups in English and Spanish.

I have a special interest in providing care to patients and families in their primary languages and within a culturally humble lens to ensure that the whole patient and family system is supported during their cancer journey. I am also a published author.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures.
