I am a board-certified physician assistant specializing in the treatment of thrombosis (blood clots) and other benign (non-cancerous) blood disorders. I have been caring for people with cancer in both the inpatient (in the hospital) and outpatient (outside the hospital) settings since 2013.

I have been at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) since 2018. Here, I help patients with blood-related disorders and complications, including:

Often, these conditions are side effects of cancer or its treatment. My goal is to treat each patient with compassion, respect, and excellence — this is the care MSK is known for and what I would expect for my own loved ones. I know that having cancer and going through treatment can often feel overwhelming. After my visit, I want my patients to feel supported and that questions and concerns have been acknowledged and answered.

Prior to joining MSK, I worked at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where I spent 5 years providing inpatient care to people with leukemia or lymphoma, as well as those receiving a bone marrow transplant.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Drew, our two mixed breed dogs Chloe and Piper, and our daughter Maeve, who was born in 2023. One our favorite things to do as a family is go for long walks around town and to the park.
