How I Can Help
Since I am a person with disability, and have a son that also had a stroke, I can empathize with people with disabilities and understand their experiences. I also studied Rehabilitation Counseling, which enhanced my counseling skills and my abilities to guide and assist people with disabilities to live independently in the community. I can assist by advocating for them and by connecting them to the necessary recourses.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I survived one in a million odd due to toxic shock syndrome, and was in the hospital for a year. It was a real difficult struggle, and I continue to struggled and face challenges on a daily basis. I knew I had to hold on and survive for my 5 children. Not too long after that, my son had a stroke and I had to take care of him as well. I feel that I have an important purpose in life. I would like that purpose to be helping others recover and give them hope.
