I am a physician assistant (PA) who cares for people who are at high risk for breast cancer. I am certified by the American Society of Breast Surgeons as a Breast Advanced Practice Provider (APP). I am part of the RISE (Risk Assessment, Imaging, Surveillance, and Education) Program for people at increased risk of breast cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).

I care for patients at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center. When patients meet with me and my team, we determine if you’re at increased breast cancer risk. If you are at high risk, we create a long-term surveillance plan specifically for you.

Some of the most common questions and concerns that I hear from my patients are:

• What can I do to reduce my breast cancer risk?
• How often should I go for breast imaging or scans?
• What do the findings on my breast imaging results mean?

I take the time to help people understand their level of risk for developing cancer and what to do to prevent this. It is important to me that people feel confident in making decisions about all aspects of their breast health after meeting with me. In addition to providing direct care to patients, I am a committee member on the APP Governing Council at MSK.

When I am not working, I enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends.
