Personal Statement

My research and clinical work focus on the care of patients with all types of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma including cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (mycosis fungoides). This is a job I love. On my clinic days, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to see many wonderful patients and their families while working hard to help them through the difficult process of getting diagnosed and treated with cancer. Then, on the non-clinic days, I can use my intellectual side as I continue to work for my patients by conducting research to find ways to better treat and cure lymphoma.
