My decision to specialize in gynecologic oncology was strongly impacted by the experience of caring for women during a crucial point in their lives. During my fellowship at the University of California-Davis, I trained to perform complex and minimally invasive robotic surgeries, radical cytoreductive surgery, and to integrate and manage adjuvant therapy for gynecologic malignancies. I have participated in clinical and basic research and spent time in a nanotechonology lab investigating novel therapeutics for ovarian cancer. My expertise is in minimally invasive approaches to gynecologic malignancies, including advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques, novel intra operative chemotherapy administration and sentinel lymph node techniques. I have developed an enhanced recovery program in collaboration with the anesthesiology department, to allow surgical patients to return to baseline function more rapidly after surgery. I work closely with a dedicated clinical trials team to increase therapies available to gynecologic cancer patients, helping guide them through the process. I work collaboratively with members of our multidisciplinary team including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, gynecologists, radiologists, pathologists, genetic counselors, nutritionists, social workers and nurses to educate patients about their disease and help them navigate treatment options.
