Biography

I grew up in Jamestown, NY which is a small town about an hour south of Buffalo and as a kid I always dreamt of working at Roswell Park. After attending the University at Buffalo for my undergraduate I left Western New York to complete medical school, residency, and fellowship. I am excited to be back in Buffalo and finally giving back to a community that gave so much to me growing up. Clinically, I have a passion for lymphoma and cellular therapy because I have seen first hand how terrifying this diagnosis can be, but I have also seen a lot of progress and new therapies emerge which are promising. In my free time I enjoy reading, working out, and spending time with my husband and two sons.
