I am a Social Work Manager at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion with special training in cognitive behavioral therapy, meaning-centered psychotherapy, trauma-informed therapy, and palliative and end-of-life care. During my time at MSK, I co-created REACH for Caregivers and co-led the Talking with Children About Cancer program. I am also an active member of the Social Work Department’s Antiracism Committee, as well as our New Hire Orientation program. I completed MSK’s Emerging Leadership Program in 2022.

Outside of MSK, I serve as the President-elect for the Association of Oncology Social Work.  Additionally, I have received accolades from the National Association of Social Workers and the Social Work Hospice and Palliative Care Network, including the Mid-Career Exemplary Leadership Award and Excellence in Clinical Practice awards, respectively.

I earned my masters and doctorate degrees from New York University’s Silver School of Social Work (NYUSSW). I am a master trainer and on the board for ESPEC: Educating Social Workers in Palliative and End-of-life Care. I serve on several editorial boards, have presented locally and nationally, and am a published author. I believe in giving back to the field of social work through my role as an adjunct faculty member of NYUSSW and Smith College.
