My clinical interest focuses on the surgical care of breast cancer in patients and those with an increased risk for the development of breast cancer including populations with genetic predispositions or a diagnosis of a high-risk breast lesion.

My research focuses on two distinct areas impacting the care of our breast cancer patients:
- Populations at increased breast cancer risk with an interest in novel strategies for risk reduction.
- Axillary surgery de-escalation to maintain oncologic safety while minimizing surgical morbidity.
