My research and clinical focus are to reduce the impact that treatment-related complications from chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells or cell transplant have on the patient’s experience during their journey for a cure.

Care Philosophy

Striving to improve the patient experience is at the heart of everything I do when caring for my patients and their families. I want patients patients to feel heard and well cared for within our team. I enjoy taking the time to answer their questions and provide education on their diagnosis and treatment plan so they feel empowered and prepared for what's ahead of them in their cancer journey.
