Collaboration leverages the resources to accelerate progress

Accelerating biomedical research to improve patients’ outcomes through fostering effective collaborations

TENETS

Foci of my energy:

- Childhood cancer
- Inclusivity and diversity
- Collaborating for accelerating cancer research to benefit patients
- Supporting advances in health accomplished through collaborative efforts

With experience in biomedical and behavior research collaborations I desire to help move cancer research forward though collaboration. I am especially interested in the childhood cancer research space where there is an important need to improve the lives of children and their families.
