Biography
I am a board-certified pathologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, specializing in hematopathology and molecular genetic pathology. My work focuses on diagnosing complex blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, and other hematologic and genetic disorders.
Patients and their care teams rely on me for precise, behind-the-scenes diagnostic expertise that supports personalized care. I collaborate closely with oncologists, hematologists, and other specialists to ensure each diagnosis is thorough and tailored to the individual’s needs.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am committed to advancing the field of pathology through education and research. As a clinical professor in the Department of Pathology, I mentor medical students and residents and contribute to innovations that improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. I am certified by the American Board of Pathology in Anatomic & Clinical Pathology, Hematopathology, and Molecular Genetic Pathology.
