Personal Statement

My path to medicine began at an early age, shaped by my family's experiences with cancer. Today, as an attending oncologist at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, I am proud to be a member of a world-renowned genitourinary oncology team that has been at the forefront of translating laboratory discoveries into innovative therapies for patients.

I am committed to advancing cancer care through the development of new treatments and ensuring that every patient has access to our full portfolio of clinical trials. Because treatment decisions in genitourinary cancers are highly individualized, I work closely with each patient and their loved ones to develop a care plan that reflects both the latest evidence and the patient’s personal goals and priorities. 

Most importantly, I believe that exceptional cancer care requires not only the most advanced treatments, but also compassion, communication, and trust. It is a privilege to care for patients and families facing cancer, and I am committed to supporting them every step of the way.
