I am a board-certified hematologist and medical oncologist at UF Health, with 12 years of experience in academia and community oncology practice. It is my goal to apply both research and science toward providing equitable lung cancer care. I believe in providing the highest quality of care for patients-like I would want for myself and my loved ones.

 

I previously served as the section chief of oncology at the Birmingham VA Medical Center. I was also principal investigator for the lung precision oncology programme for veterans and served as the site director for the state veterans’ lung cancer screening program, along with other leadership roles.

 

I have experience as a medical educator, having served as a fellowship site director and associate fellowship program director, among other roles in health care education.

 

My research interests include designing and implementing high-quality clinical trials that are equitable and patient-centric, with a focus on enrolling those who are historically underrepresented in medicine.

 

Most recently, I was medical director for solid tumor oncology trials with Parexel and am currently an associate professor of medicine, disease group lead for thoracic oncology, and division director of quality and safety at the University of Florida in Gainesville. In this role, I focus on delivering the highest-quality clinical trials in lung cancer and enhancing the implementation of the lung cancer screening programme.
