Overview
My goal is to provide the best care possible for patients with blood cancers and their families. I strive to find the best treatment for each patient based on the latest research as well as each patient's own unique situation and goals. I also hope to improve the care of cancer patients through access to clinical trials and ongoing outcomes-based research. My research focuses on physical fitness and cancer patients, survivorship care, and financial toxicity.

Duke Blood Cancer Center
I entered medical school for the sole purpose of learning more about human diseases, so that I could focus my laboratory efforts on improving the human condition. However, I was surprised to find myself drawn to clinical care. I care for people afflicted by acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. In this role, I have had the privilege of treating people facing life-threatening illnesses. I strive to gain the trust of each of my patients, so that I can help them make difficult treatment decisions. I engage in clinical research, evaluating novel agents that directly target the cancer cell to improve the degree of success in treating this illness. My patients benefit from my understanding of the newest available treatments, and also have access to promising investigational agents, when appropriate. In my faculty position at Duke University, I enjoy educating current oncologists as well as the next generation of physicians.
