Overview
I am a pediatric hematologist/oncologist who is passionate about improving the lives of children with cancer and blood disorders, regardless of where they live. During my fellowship training, I took time to complete a Master's in Global Health through the Duke Graduate School, and gained significant experience working abroad in Tanzania. As a member of faculty, I have continued that research in Tanzania, focusing on using implementation science methodology to adapt chemotherapy regimens for their safe use in low resource settings.
When in the US, I focus on clinical research in a variety of different fields as well as quality improvement. Current focuses include pediatric cancer survivorship and clinical outcomes such as fever in patients with severe neutropenia.
