Why do you want to serve on the ASCO Board of Directors?
I am grateful for the opportunities ASCO has given me, and I am strongly compelled to support the mission of conquering cancer through research, education, and promotion of the highest quality, equitable patient care.
I believe my expertise in healthcare policy, clinical informatics, community oncology practice, and the business of medicine will complement the current Board of Directors in unique ways to provide valuable perspective and assist the Board in actualizing ASCO’s strategic plan.
