Philosophy of Care
My aim is to provide comprehensive, compassionate and state of the art care to women with or at risk for gynecologic cancers and their families. I work with a broad range of skilled providers to ensure patients have access to a full range of treatment and supportive care. I am interested in all aspects of gynecological cancer including surgery, medical treatment, and research. Clinically, I have special interests in ovarian cancer, gynecologic cancer risk assessment and management, and laparoscopic and robotic laparoscopic surgery. I also have over ten years experience in designing and managing gynecologic cancer clinical and translational research studies and trials.
Personal Interests
I enjoy wind-surfing, running, swimming, snowboarding and spending time with my family.
