Following the completion of her surgical residency she pursued further training in Endorectal Ultrasound Imaging and colorectal cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Cancer in New York, followed by a fellowship in Colon and Rectal Surgery at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston. She was on staff as an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis from 2007 to 2011 where she was the director of the Inherited Colorectal Cancer Registry before joining the UCLA Department of Surgery.
