I have been a physician assistant for more than 25 years. I joined the thoracic surgery team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in 2004. I left MSK after I had children but rejoined in 2016. 

I started my career in the emergency department. I have had the honor of working with some of the most innovative and well-known thoracic surgeons in the world. That includes MSK thoracic surgeons Dr. Valerie Rusch and Dr. David Jones.

I have worked in the operating room, and taken care of people in the hospital and in the clinic. The most rewarding part of my job is talking with and caring for my patients. I enjoy educating and encouraging people to help them to improve their overall health.
