She completed her medical degree at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine with distinction in clinical research and her pediatric residency at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. She then pursued a pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship at the combined Johns Hopkins-National Cancer Institute program. During her fellowship, she received additional translational research training by completing a PhD dissertation in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on NF1-associated tumors and the application of molecularly targeted therapies. Her academic interest is to define the interactions between molecularly targeted agents and the tumor immune microenvironment in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) and establish the potential role of immune-based therapies in novel therapeutic combinations in the treatment of patients with MPNST. Her clinical focus is on the care and management of patients with cancer predisposition syndromes and their associated risk for solid tumors.
