Treatment Philosophy

My journey to Fox Chase Cancer Center began with the physician assistant program at Temple University’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine in 2021. During my clinical rotations at Fox Chase, I was first introduced to surgical oncology, and it was there that my passion for the field took root. After graduating from Temple, I pursued a postgraduate fellowship in surgical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in 2023. At MSK, I honed my surgical skills across various surgical oncology specialties, including robotic and minimally invasive techniques.

I believe that exceptional patient care starts with a strong PA-patient relationship built on trust, compassion, and continuity. It is further reinforced by a dedicated team of providers—such as the outstanding team at Fox Chase Cancer Center where I have found home. I am honored to be part of this multidisciplinary team and to contribute to its mission of providing exceptional cancer care.
