How I Can Help
I am a healthcare consultant, copywriter and patient advocate. I help patients and healthcare companies to share their stories in concise and impactful ways. Improving patient care via Narrative Medicine, I understand that consolidated and powerful communication can improve outcomes of health from patient/provider relationships to clinical trial and drug development so patients can achieve more positive health outcomes with less heartache and strife.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I became involved with patient advocacy in 2009 when I began experiencing symptoms of Crohn's disease. It took 6.5 years to get correctly diagnosed & another 2 years to find the treatment that put me in remission (Remicade), but learning to share my story, listen to other patients journey's & do my own research helped me to advocate for myself - to be heard, for additional testing to be done, & for changing treatment plans until they actually worked.

I live with Crohn's disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Migraines, Insomnia, and Adrenal Insufficiency - another condition which took more than 5 years to correctly diagnose. My physical health continues to be a time consuming, frustrating thing to manage and keep balanced - and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to support other patients by creating connection, community building, conducting interviews, helping them to write and even speak into existence their own health journey's.

Additional Skills
With over 10 years of experience in health communication, I am a Patient Experience and Clinical Copywriter, Content Creator, and Patient Advocate who specializes in Narrative Medicine. Narrative Medicine is the practice of using stories and personal narratives to enhance patient care, improve health outcomes, and foster empathy and collaboration among health professionals. I am passionate about increasing the accessibility of treatment and support for all patients, especially those with rare and chronic diseases, and creating engaging and relatable content that bridges the gap between medical jargon and everyday language.

I have extensive experience in creating healthcare communication outreach materials, programs, and training, designing and implementing effective surveys, and coordinating community outreach efforts specific to geographic locations and medical indications. I also leverage my skills in social networking, social media writing, and workshop facilitation to engage with the online ecosystem of patients in multiple health-specific communities, moderate posts, questions, feedback, and community dialogue, and write original content for various websites.
