About Me
I’m a radiation oncologist, and I also serve as an assistant professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at The Ohio State University. I specialize in stereotactic body radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery and brachytherapy. I received my medical education at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and I earned a master's in Medical Science from The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I completed my residency at the OSUCCC – James.
My research focuses on improving radiation techniques for patients with various types of cancer. I have been published in various medical journals, such as the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, Frontier in Oncology and the American Journal of Clinical Oncology. I also wrote a chapter for the book Neuro-Imaging and Radition Therapy: Handbook of Neuro-Oncology Neuroimaging. I have also presented at conferences across the country. I also serve on the American Board of Radiology, the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology, the American Society for Radiation Oncology and the Radiological Society of North America.
At the OSUCCC – James, we focus on creating targeted treatment plans that are tailored in individual patients and their needs. To do this, we work as a multidisciplinary team to collectively achieve the best results for our patients. I am proud to work at The James, striving every day for the best outcomes for my patients and for a cancer-free world.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
