Growing up in the NY/NJ/PA area, I completed my general surgery training at NYU/Bellevue Hospital where I had exposure to a wide range of cancer pathology in a diverse and complex patient population.  I also completed a two-year research fellowship where I studied the immune mechanisms of pancreatic and liver carcinogenesis and developed an interest in translating basic science into clinical practice.

I then went on to complete my surgical oncology fellowship at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the state’s only NCI-designated cancer center. I have had extensive training in both open and minimally invasive techniques for a wide variety of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancers, peritoneal surface malignancies, and skin/soft tissues tumors.  My clinical research focuses on understanding the biology of cancer metastasis and dormancy and the use of biomarkers for clinical trial development.

It is truly a privilege to take care of cancer patients. As a former competitive swimmer, I greatly enjoy and understand the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach to oncology treatment. I strive to develop personalized treatment plans for my patients and take pride in being a strong patient advocate, good listener, and effective communicator.  I am thrilled to be part of the Fox Chase team!
