Biography

 

I am a native of Southern California, although I attended college in Northern California before spending several years in the Northeast for medical school and clinical training.  After completing my training, I chose to return to Southern California to be closer to family and raise my children.

 

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my boys and taking advantage of the many activities Southern California has to offer.

 

About my practice

 

A cancer diagnosis can bring many challenges for members and their families. My goal is to guide members through this journey by providing clear information, compassionate care, and thoughtful treatment planning. I strive to help members understand their disease and their treatment options while supporting quality of life throughout their care.

 

My Cancer Subspecialty Focus

 

My clinical focus includes the care of those with solid tumors and hematologic disorders, including both benign and malignant blood conditions. I work with members to develop individual treatment plans that include the latest advances in cancer therapy while aligning with each member’s personal goals and needs.

 

Regional Expertise on Multidisciplinary Teams

 

I work closely with multidisciplinary teams that include specialists in medical oncology, hematology, radiation oncology, pathology, surgery, and supportive care services. This approach helps ensure that members receive comprehensive treatment that is based on evidence and current research and is aligned with national best practices.

 

Research and Clinical Trials

 

I participate in clinical research initiatives designed to advance cancer care and expand treatment options for members. Through involvement in national oncology research collaborations and clinical trials, I help bring innovative therapies and emerging treatments to our community.

 

How I thrive

 

My family is my top priority. Outside of family activities, I enjoy jogging and traveling. Both my professional experiences and personal life have helped me maintain a balanced perspective and appreciation for what matters most.
