About Me

Through the guidance of world-class mentors and many years of research and medical training, I found my calling to make an impact in the field of breast cancer. I provide compassionate, thoughtful, evidence-based care focused on eradicating cancer while promoting overall health. Knowledge is power and my role is to provide my patients with the knowledge to make a shared, informed decision. I work with my patients as a team and will always place my patient's interests first.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

My translational research is focused on functional precision medicine with the goal of creating novel biomarkers and rationally designed clinical trials aimed at minimizing toxicity and improving the outcomes of my patients with breast cancer. I have clinical expertise in the care of patients with aggressive breast cancers such as inflammatory breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and HER2 positive breast cancer.
