About
Personal Statement
I followed my heart to Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. As the first person in my family to even go to college, I really didn't have personal role models to guide my career choices. Medicine proved to be a wonderful way in which I could fuse my desire to help others while attending to my life-long love of learning. I am a physician scientist, and have an active interest in cancer research, focusing on inherited syndromes that predispose to cancer. My journey to Pediatric Heme/Onc was influenced by the inspirational young people and their families battling cancer and blood diseases. I am honored to be a part of the outstanding team here at Kentucky Children's Hospital that provides care to children and young people with cancers and disorders of the blood.
