How I Can Help
I provide peer mentorship, education, and advocacy support for individuals living with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) and survivors of childhood trauma. Through my leadership roles—including Director of Patient Engagement for TED Community Org, Patient Advisory Council Member for Viridian Therapeutics, and Peer Mentor with Amgen—I help patients and their loved ones navigate complex care pathways, understand treatment options, and access support resources. I also facilitate connections through virtual support groups, assist with understanding insurance or access barriers, and guide patients toward trusted educational tools and communities. Whether you're newly diagnosed or facing long-term challenges, I can help you feel informed, empowered, and supported.

My Survivor Support Advocacy Qualifications
I am a survivor of PTSD, Thyroid Eye Disease
As a survivor of childhood abuse and someone living with PTSD and an autoimmune condition, I understand what it means to fight battles that others can't always see. My journey has been shaped by pain, but also by perseverance, healing, and a deep desire to help others feel less alone.
Living with Graves’ Disease and Thyroid Eye Disease has challenged not only my physical health but also my mental well-being. The changes to my appearance, vision, and identity were difficult to process—and even harder to explain to others. I know firsthand how isolating chronic illness can feel, especially when the emotional toll is invisible to the outside world.
Professionally and personally, I’ve committed myself to advocacy work that brings light into dark spaces. I help lead peer support groups for both autoimmune warriors and survivors of childhood trauma—communities where individuals are not only heard, but held with compassion and dignity. These groups provide space to speak truth, share resources, and rediscover strength.
My approach is rooted in lived experience, trauma-informed care, and the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with humanity. I’ve spoken publicly about my journey, mentored others through difficult times, and helped connect survivors to mental health and medical resources they can trust.
What I want every survivor to know is this: You are not your trauma. You are worthy of healing. And there is real power in community and shared truth. I’m here to walk beside you—not as someone with all the answers, but as someone who truly understands the questions.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I’ve spent the last eight years working in the healthcare industry, helping patients navigate what is often a complex and overwhelming system. But before I stepped into this field professionally, I was a patient first—and I remember what it felt like to be lost, unsure of where to start or how to get the care I needed.
Everything changed for me in 2020, when a breakthrough therapy became available and gave me the opportunity to reclaim my health and rebuild my life. That experience shaped my purpose: to ensure others don’t have to face their journey alone.
Today, I dedicate my work to helping patients gain access to life-changing treatments, understand their diagnosis, and feel empowered to take control of their health. Whether through patient education, peer support, or advocacy, my goal is to bridge the gap between patients and the care they deserve.
