BIOSKETCH

I am a native of Hawaii which is still considered “home”. Although my interest in oncology began while I was a resident at UCSD, substantial learning occurred during the three years I was at Duke University Medical Center. A member of the faculty at WVU since July 1989, I have continued to grow academically, professionally, and most of all, personally.
