I am board-certified in general pediatrics and pediatric hematology and oncology at UF Health. My primary focus is the multidisciplinary treatment of pediatric solid tumors, particularly sarcomas of the bone and soft tissue. I also have a special interest in pediatric palliative care.
I am an active participant in several national professional societies and committees, including the Children’s Oncology Group, American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, American Society of Hematology, Connective Tissue Oncology Society and STOP Children’s Cancer.
In my clinical practice, I integrate translational research focused on targeted radionuclide therapies for osteosarcoma. I collaborate with colleagues across UF Veterinary Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, and Radiation Oncology. My direct collaboration with pediatric oncology colleagues throughout Florida has also contributed to Phase I clinical trials for pediatric cancer patients across the state.
I joined UF in 2009 from Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Ohio State University College of Medicine, where I completed a fellowship in pediatric hematology and oncology. I completed my pediatric residency training at Children’s Hospital of Monmouth in New Jersey, where I also served as chief resident.
