I pursued medical oncology for my career because of the unique opportunity to provide longitudinal care for patients during their most vulnerable times. Oncology has evolved arguably more rapidly than any other field of medicine in the last couple of decades, and I will help my patients navigate and understand the cutting-edge advances in cancer diagnostics and treatments.
