I have more than 25 years of experience taking care of children and young adults with cancer and blood disorders. My primary focus during this time has been leukemia and lymphoma treatment and research. Treatment for these highly-curable cancers has become much more individualized as we have learned a great deal about the biology of leukemia and lymphoma. I am thrilled that I have taken a lead role in clinical research on Hodgkin lymphoma. I look forward my continued collaboration with Hodgkin lymphoma researchers on an international basis to bring cutting-edge therapy to my patients.

Philosophy of Care

I love making a connection between cutting-edge research in oncology and my own patients.  When I attend a conference or read a new medical article, I think about how the findings will make a difference in the care of my patients.  The privilege and excitement of making this connection is at the heart of what I do for my patients every day.
