Profile

I have the training and experience to participate in VICC, COG, and other associated research studies. I have completed my training in pediatrics as well as hematology/oncology. I practice as an assistant professor of clinical pediatrics taking care of children with all types of cancer, though my clinical focus is in hematologic malignancies, specifically lymphoma. During fellowship and as an attending physician, I have been actively involved in COG studies through recruitment and tracking of patients on study and I am the site PI for ANHL1931. I have collaborated with persons at multiple institutions to write a case series on outcomes of transplant in patients with SAMD9 and SAMD9L mutations and have contributed to both PTLD and NLPHL multicenter retrospective reviews currenty undergoing analysis. I have contributed to the NCCN guidelines for Pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma. I work with multidisciplinary teams and lead quality improvement and patient safety initiatives related to the care of children with cancer and blood disorders.
