Get to Know Me

With a passion for science and my desire to always work with people, I decided to pursue becoming a doctor after college. Today, I’m incredibly fortunate to help treat children with a variety of cancers and blood disorders – including eye tumors.

Why I Treat Children

I’m amazed by their resilience, honesty and innocence – and I want to help make their life the best it can possibly be The children I treat didn’t ask for the medical conditions they have, and they deserve the best that is in me.
