I am a medical oncologist specializing in the care for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Richter Transformation, lymphoproliferative disorders, and other leukemias. It is my honor to partner with patients and their families to formulate a personalized care plan based on their cancer biology, medical history, and individual goals. I am passionate about educating patients and their families on their diagnosis and treatment options, as well as learning what is most important to each patient as they begin their care journey with me. At each visit, I prioritize listening to patients’ concerns and answering their questions. I value teamwork, and at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I am fortunate to work with a multidisciplinary team of medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, and social workers to provide outstanding, cutting-edge cancer care.
I conduct clinical research with the goal of improving treatment outcomes and the quality of life for patients with CLL and Richter Transformation. Together with colleagues in the CLL program at MSK, I help design and lead clinical trials that investigate new interventions for patients with CLL and Richter Transformation. I also partner with laboratory scientists at MSK to understand how different therapeutic strategies impact CLL genetics, including why certain treatments do or do not work for patients in specific situations. I am proud to be part of a team of expert cancer clinicians and scientists working to provide the highest quality care to patients and ultimately, improve the lives of people with blood cancers.
