Biography

I attended the University of Illinois for my undergraduate education in Biology and Sociology. I then attended The Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science and graduated in 2003. I completed my residency training at the University of California, San Francisco. I stayed on at UCSF for my Pediatric Hematology and Oncology fellowship. I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2009. Professionally, my interest is neuroblastoma and pediatric palliative care.
