Fellow Recruitment Leader

Hometown: Mullica Hill, NJ
Medical School: Cooper Medical School of Rowan University; Camden, NJ
Residency: The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University / Rhode Island Hospital
Research/Academic Interests: My interests within classical hematology are hemostasis and thrombosis, as well as comprehensive care for persons with bleeding disorders. In the laboratory I study megakaryopoiesis and platelet function with a focus on their intersection with inflammatory signaling as a driver platelet hyperreactivity, and influence on clonal progression of myeloproliferative neoplasms. 
Bio: I’m a new transplant to St Louis after having spent my life and training between Philadelphia, New Jersey and most recently in Rhode Island. My out of hospital interests have included an over attachment to the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team and looking forward exploring the regional craft beer, completely unrelated. I’m looking forward to fall adventures through Forest Park.
