In 2011 she became a research intern in the Psychosocial Oncology Program in mind-body applications at the Einstein-Montefiore Cancer Center. She has since gained valuable experience working in the Integrative Medicine Departments of NYU and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She has also volunteered offering yoga to clients affected by cancer at Gilda's Club, massage for HIV/AIDS and hospice, and Therapy Dog work. She is grateful to be able to share the art of acupuncture and bodywork with her clients.
