I’m a clinical social worker at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) who supports people with many types of cancer. This includes:

I became a clinical social worker because I am committed to supporting people during a challenging time in their lives.

I meet with patients and caregivers at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

In my role, I partner with you to understand how your diagnosis and treatment are affecting you. This includes your emotional well‑being, physical comfort, and day‑to‑day functioning. I provide guidance throughout your care journey and help strengthen your coping skills.

I will walk you and your loved ones through all the supportive resources available. I help you understand how a social worker can provide support during treatment. I also prepare you on what to expect from the bone marrow transplant process.

I focus on learning what matters most to you. Together, we develop a plan that meets your needs and which helps build clarity, connection, and resilience.

When I’m not working with patients, I enjoy listening to music, dancing, and spending time with my loved ones.
