I am a hematologist and health services researcher, deeply committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care to my patients. I chose the path of medicine due to the unique blend it offers of scientific exploration and the opportunity to make a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of individuals. My philosophy of care emphasizes patient empowerment through education, shared decision-making, and comprehensive care approaches. I firmly believe that patient care is about treating the person as a whole, factoring in not only physical health but also emotional and social aspects. My aim is to ensure that each patient feels acknowledged, heard, and understood. I have a special clinical interest in hematologic malignancies, particularly indolent lymphomas, and in the improvement of healthcare systems to better support these patients. My research often incorporates real-world datasets, such as the SEER-Medicare database, with an aim to address disparities and improve outcomes in older adults with cancer. I strive to use these data-driven approaches to enhance supportive care for my patients. Away from work, I relish spending time in the great outdoors, enjoying activities such as running and cycling. I also have a keen interest in history and often spend my free time getting lost in books that broaden my understanding of different historical periods and cultures. Lastly, I am a passionate board game enthusiast, appreciating both the strategic challenge and the camaraderie that these games provide.
