Biographical Sketch:
I am a 4th year gynecologic oncology fellow with research interests in minimally invasive surgery, healthcare outcomes and cost, surgical education and training, biomarkers in ovarian cancer, and meeting the psychosocial needs of our patients. I have given three oral presentations at WAGO and presented many posters at both SGO and WAGO on these topics, in addition to completing several manuscripts. I look foward to continuing such research with an emphasis on healthcare quality measures in gynecologic cancer patients.
