I am thrilled to be returning to my training institution as Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. After my Pediatric Residency at Rutgers- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, I completed a fellowship in pediatric hematology and oncology at New York Medical College.
My fellowship research project, “Targeting AML with Anti-CD123 Chimeric Antigen Receptor Modified NK cells” combined my interest in hematologic malignancy and cellular therapy. It also afforded me the opportunity to become proficient in state-of-the-art laboratory techniques, as well as recognition at national conferences. Additionally, during fellowship I was actively involved in a clinical research program through both investigator-initiated clinical trials and Children Oncology Group (COG) protocols. We also had an active bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy program with multiple investigator-driven therapeutic trials.
As a clinician I strive to provide my patients with compassionate and family-centered care. It is important to treat the patient as a whole and address both their physical and emotional needs. Furthermore, I recognize an oncologic or hematologic diagnosis can be overwhelming to caretakers and by educating families they can take a more active role in a patient’s treatment plan. A Central Jersey native myself, it gives me great pride to give back to my community as I care for children with various cancers and blood disorders.
I treat patients at both Rutgers Cancer Institute in New Brunswick and Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch providing comprehensive family-centered care with the most advanced treatment options including clinical trials, immunotherapy, and precision medicine.

Prior to your appointment, it is advisable to verify with your insurance company they are still a participating plan prior to receiving services or care. Each plan is different and some provide different levels of coverage that could make a difference in your out-of-pocket costs. It is always best for the patient receiving care to contact their insurance company to obtain more information.
