I am a Neuro-Oncologist at Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven, CT. I am a lifelong Connecticut resident, having been born, raised and educated entirely in Connecticut. After graduating from Litchfield High School as valedictorian, I graduated with Honors in Chemistry from Wesleyan University. I then obtained my medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and completed internship and residency training at Yale-New Haven Hospital, serving as Chief Resident in Neurology during my final year. I then completed a clinical fellowship in Neuro-Oncology at Yale-New Haven Hospital. I have an interest in all aspects of neurology, as well as specialized expertise in the treatment brain tumors such as glioblastomas, oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas, meningiomas, as well as the treatment of metastatic brain tumors and neurological symptoms related to cancer. I am interested in clinical research focusing on new therapies, and improving patient quality of life.
