I am a pediatric and young adult oncologist specializing in the treatment of solid tumors such as sarcoma and neuroblastoma. My practice aims to provide personalized care that encompasses medical treatments, emotional support, and open communication for patients and families. With a background in engineering, I bring a problem-solving mindset to finding innovative solutions for complex medical challenges.

Dedicated to providing compassionate care, support, and guidance to patients and their families facing the immense stresses associated with cancer diagnoses and treatments, I aim to provide holistic care by treating the cancers while also prioritizing each patient's overall well-being and quality of life. I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel empowered, heard and actively involved in their treatment decisions. I’m committed to minimizing the time spent in the hospital whenever possible, as it is crucial for patients to have opportunities for normalcy as they engage in activities they enjoy.

My research focuses on understanding the molecular machinery of tumors in order to identify vulnerabilities that can be targeted with novel therapies. I address issues such as drug resistance and toxicity, with the ultimate goal of improving survival along with enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients.

Before joining Cincinnati Children's in 2024, I dedicated 11 years of my career to Duke University, where I focused on identifying new vulnerabilities for targeting difficult-to-treat sarcomas. My work was recognized with a Fellowship Award from the St. Baldrick's Foundation (2016), a Young Investigator Award from the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (2021), Scholar Awards from both the V Foundation (2018) and Hyundai Hope on Wheels (2021), as well as a Career Development Award from the U.S Department of Defense (2023).
