About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Assistant Attending Pathologist
Get To Know Me

I am a board-certified pathologist with expertise in neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung, mediastinal, and pleural diseases, and general cytopathology. My primary role as a pathologist is to provide accurate tissue diagnosis and tumor staging to help guide treatment.

I joined the pathology faculty at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in July 2021 after completing my residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital and my thoracic pathology and cytopathology fellowships at MSK. As part of MSK’s Thoracic Disease Management Team, I work closely with colleagues in surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology to care for patients with lung, pleural, and mediastinal tumors.

My research interests are broadly focused on lung cancer, but specifically center on the diagnostic, predictive and prognostic markers of high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas of the lung, including small cell carcinoma and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. I also collaborate closely with the Thoracic Disease Management Team to advance clinical and laboratory research in broader areas of thoracic oncology.

My Role at MSK

A pathologist is a doctor who uses a microscope to make a diagnosis from cell and tissue samples. They analyze the samples to learn the cause and effects of a health condition.
