Get to Know Me

I’m a pediatric oncologist (cancer specialist) based at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Children’s Specialty Care, Jacksonville. I’m a triathlete, married with three children, with an interest in finding ways to constantly improve cancer care for children. We returned to Florida, my home state, after travelling the country to complete my medical training.

Why I Treat Children

While I was growing up, my mother worked in an OB/GYN office, so I always said I wanted to do the same ""because I love to work with kids."" At that time, nobody explained to me that OB/GYNs treat women and it’s really pediatricians who treat kids. By medical school, it was clear pediatrics was what I was interested in.

What I'm Passionate About

I love the personal interactions with families during some of their happiest and also most difficult times. I find the clinical aspects and science behind oncology fascinating.

How I Try to Make A Difference

I specialize in cancer care for children and try to find ways to improve the care they receive. I am currently leading the expansion of our treatment protocols for relapsed disease so patients can have more aggressive options if their cancer returns.
