Philosophy of care | Navigating a new cancer diagnosis is a difficult experience for patients and their loved ones. My goal is to educate and guide my patients and their caretakers through every step of the journey. I strive to make sure there is a clear understanding of the underlying disease process and all of the treatment options available so we can decide the best path forward. | Why I entered medicine | I found myself drawn to medicine at an early age after being inspired by my pediatrician. I’ve always been fascinated by the interplay between science, communication, and advocacy as a physician. As an oncologist, I’m in a privileged position to help those in what can be the most harrowing journey of their lives. I want to develop strong rapport with the people I care for to help them understand their disease and what it means for their future. Oncology is an evolving field with many exciting advancements, and it is gratifying to use these new findings to change lives for the better. | Community involvement | Throughout my medical training, I volunteered in many free clinics. I’m excited to explore the area and take advantage of any opportunities to give back. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, trying new restaurants, and reading.
