About me

I am a cancer epidemiologist conducting ​innovative cancer survivorship research.

My research goal is to maximize quality of life and optimize outcomes ​for cancer survivors. In order to accomplish that goal, I have creatively ​applied my knowledge, conceptual and analytical skills, and drive ​toward building an innovative, nationally funded research program.

what we do

Cancer Survivorship ​Research

As the number of cancer survivors increases, the long-term ​effects of the disease and treatment have become a ​substantial public health concern. My team focuses on ​understanding the short and long-term physical, emotional ​and social effects of cancer, and on developing ​interventions to mitigate the effects. We specifically focus ​on designing, implementing and analyzing studies to test ​preclinical and clinical cancer research hypotheses.
