About Me
We are witnessing an exciting era in oncology, marked by the emergence of new therapies. It’s truly rewarding to offer patients innovative treatment options that can make a real difference in their lives.
At University of Vermont Health, my goal is to provide patients with the highest quality of care possible. My approach to care is rooted in compassion, research and excellence.
I grew up in Colombia and earned my medical degree from Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla. I came to the United States and completed my post-doctoral training at the Mayo Clinic and Wake Forest University.
