Biography

As part of the leukemia/hematology department at Roswell Park, I primarily treat patients with blood and bone marrow cancers such as AML, ALL, CML, MDS, and MPNs. I also take care of non-malignant blood disorders. I am particularly interested in the care of young adults with acute and chronic leukemias and in enhancing supportive care for patients with hematologic malignancies.

I completed medical school in my hometown at the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA, followed by residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I then completed fellowship in hematology/oncology at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY prior to joining the faculty here at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. I am proud to be part of an institution working hard to advance care for all cancer patients!
