I do my job because seeing my patients conquer their illnesses and having the honor of being part of the team that helps them do that motivates me to help the next patient and is also deeply fulfilling.
I’m board certified in internal medicine and pediatrics, with a specialty in pediatric hematology-oncology (cancer and blood disorders). I have clinical interests in hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, bone marrow failure disorders, primary immune disorders, hemoglobinopathies and metabolic disorders.
I enjoy developing long-term relationships with my patients and their families. I’m passionate about following their progress and being readily available for them if they need more acute or complex care.
I received my medical degree at Albany Medical College and completed residency in internal medicine and pediatrics at Albany Medical Center. I completed a fellowship in pediatric hematology and oncology at Hofstra University and a fellowship in pediatric blood and marrow transplantation at Duke University Hospital.
When I'm not working, I love spending time with my husband and son, going on new and exciting adventures and seeing the world through my son's eyes. I like to de-stress through exercise, including kickboxing, running and yoga, and I have played softball most of my life. I also love to read, especially mysteries and thrillers.
