How I Can Help
As a cancer survivor, I know firsthand that the administrative burden of a diagnosis can feel just as overwhelming as the medical one. Combined with over 15 years of professional healthcare experience, I understand the sheer exhaustion of managing complex treatments while simultaneously untangling insurance paperwork and fighting for approvals.

Because I have navigated this path personally, I know how critical it is to have an independent guide who works exclusively for you, serving as a dedicated bridge between your medical providers and the insurance company.

As your dedicated Administrative Advocate, I step in to handle the logistical roadblocks, coordinate communication across medical offices, and tirelessly untangle complex insurance appeals. Beyond the medical logistics, I also help you locate and apply for essential community resources—including financial grants, food, housing, and transportation assistance. My sole focus is protecting your time and energy, allowing you to hand off the administrative exhaustion and stay entirely focused on recovery.

My Survivor Support Advocacy Qualifications
I am a survivor of Cancer
When I was faced with my own cancer journey, I experienced firsthand the sudden, overwhelming shift from everyday life into the dizzying world of oncology. Despite my professional background in healthcare and social services, I quickly realized that navigating the non-clinical logistics—the endless paperwork, the coordination of care, and the search for financial resources—was a monumental job in itself. I felt the weight of the hurdles, the administrative exhaustion, and the deep need for a dedicated guide to stand in my corner.
That personal turning point is exactly why I founded Beacon Cancer Navigation.
Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
For years, I worked in oncology social services, guiding patients through the system. But when I faced my own cancer diagnosis, the crushing weight of managing records, appointments, and fragmented resources hit me firsthand. I realized that if a healthcare insider found the administrative chaos overwhelming, the average family didn't stand a chance. I founded Beacon Cancer Navigation to be the exact resource I wish I had: a virtual guide across Greater Colorado who handles the non-clinical heavy lifting so you can focus entirely on healing.
