I’m a nurse practitioner at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) who cares for people with cancer who develop infections. I also care for people who are at increased risk of infection because their immune system has become weak.

I work closely with a team to diagnose and treat a wide range of infections that can occur during cancer treatment. This can include bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections.

I understand that managing an infection during cancer treatment can feel stressful and overwhelming. My goal is to help you understand your diagnosis, review treatment options, and answer any questions you may have.

I chose a career in healthcare because I believe it’s a privilege to care for people during a difficult time in their life. I aim to provide thoughtful, compassionate care that honors each person’s needs, concerns, and priorities.
