USF Breast Health Program

Having grown up in Tampa, I am deeply committed to serving our community with expertise and compassion. Inspired by my faith and family, I approach each patient interaction with care. We are privileged to care for our patients; thus my interactions should reflect this honor. Our learners will emulate the care we teach, so our methods will be amplified.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Clemson University and have a BS in Genetics and Psychology and a minor in Biology. I received my MS in Genetic Counseling at the University of South Carolina in 2015 and began working with the University of South Florida Division of Genetics and Metabolism shortly after. I currently serve as the Lead Genetic Counselor with the team and am eager to watch our division grow and continue to serve individuals with a suspected or diagnosed genetic disorder.

Dr. Kumar has lived, trained, and worked in three continents - Asia, Europe, and America - and has credentials and qualifications in Pediatrics from various countries.
