"Philosophy of care | As a medical oncologist, I try to empower my patients as much as possible – I will give you information, make recommendations, and encourage you to make informed decisions. Many of my patients initially (with newly-diagnosed cancer) have significant internal chaos. Providing information and orientation is often very calming – it is like shining a flashlight in a dark cave, so that one can see what is there, and understand everything better. When I meet you for the first time, sometimes the most important thing that I can do is to restore order to that internal chaos. | Why I entered medicine | I grew up with significant allergies, asthma and eczema during a time when there were no bronchodilators, and allergies were poorly understood. Due to sparse knowledge, I was constantly exposed to allergens from dogs, cats, feather pillows, etc. Due to sparse medical remedies (only prednisone available at that time), I was seemingly always ill. This engendered a desire to become a doctor and somehow exert some control. I was also interested in working in a field that would enable me to serve people in need. Medical oncology interested me in particular, because its research questions closely aligned with my research interests in graduate school. | Community involvement | In the past, I was a volunteer for WOAR (Women Organized Against Rape) in Philadelphia, and acted as a rape crisis counselor at one of the designated intake ERs in the city. I also participated in developing a Safe Touch program in the Philadelphia school system. As a WOAR volunteer, I conducted workshops with parents and teachers about teaching Safe Touch to children, in order to help children recognize sexual abuse and feel empowered to report it. | Personal interests | My favorite thing in the whole world now is to spend time with my (grown) children and other family members. In a ""previous life"", I used to enjoy tent camping, ballroom dancing, playing the piano, crocheting, and reading (Sci Fi books).".

Philosophy of care | My philosophy on care is patient-centered at its core. I see my role as your physician to treat your medical condition but also to take into account other factors that play an important role in the delivery of health care. I hope to work together with you and my fellow team members to accomplish a desired goal and ultimately deliver exceptional medical care to you. | Why I entered medicine | My journey to a career in medicine was a bit roundabout. Initially, I started out with an interest in global health which led me to pursue a dual degree in public health and medicine. This was an attempt to better understand the global factors that play a role in the delivery of health care while studying the pathophysiology of disease. I chose oncology because I found myself drawn to the therapeutic potential of the field. I am excited by the ongoing advances and I look forward to offering these leading-edge treatments to my patients. | Community involvement | As a transplant from Washington, D.C., I look forward to becoming more engaged in local organizations as I start to get to know the area. | Personal interests | My husband and I enjoy hiking with our dog on the weekends and spending time with family and friends.

Philosophy of care | I believe in giving each patient time to explain their problem and then working with them to find safe, effective solutions. Informative and comprehensive discussions with my patients, plus quality care, yields long-lasting and trusting relationships. | Why I entered medicine | I always felt my role in life was to help others. Growing up with a physician father, I experienced the satisfaction being a doctor gave him and I wanted the same for myself. | Community involvement | I organize and run school fundraisers and charity programs. During the holiday season, I volunteer with meal delivery. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my two children, watching my daughter play volleyball and hearing her sing in an a cappella group at school. I spend time cycling and exercising in my time off. I am also very lucky to have many family members in the area.
