Biography

I am a radiation oncologist specializing in head and neck cancer and hematologic malignancies such as lymphoma and leukemia. I grew up in South Florida and attended Wake Forest University and Wake Forest School of Medicine for my undergraduate and medical education. I trained in radiation oncology at Wake Forest Baptist Health. I am passionate about providing outstanding, patient-centered care for patients with head and neck and hematologic cancers. I also specialize in palliative radiation therapy for symptom management.
