I joined the Leukemia Service within the Department of Medicine at Roswell Park in July 2017. I treat patients with both malignant and non-malignant blood disorders. This includes patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. As a native of Buffalo, NY, I completed a large portion of my training locally. I received my doctoral degree in 2011 from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, PA. My residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology were both completed through the University at Buffalo. I hold board certifications in Internal Medicine, Hematology and Medical Oncology.

My research interests include Early Phase Clinical Trials for high-risk myeloid malignancies, as well as translational medicine. My translational work is focused on understanding how leukemic blasts modulate the local immune system to evade detection, and therefore identifying new therapeutic targets.
