With over half of my life dedicated to healthcare, I’ve had the privilege of working in a range of roles, each offering unique insights into the challenges faced by both patients and providers. I began my journey as a CNA, caring for individuals in nursing homes and providing in-home care as a teenager. This early experience laid the foundation for my career and passion for healthcare. From there, I transitioned into an X-ray tech role, trained as a medical assistant, and eventually developed a strong interest in medical coding and billing. Over time, I obtained certifications as a Certified Professional Coder, Certified Risk Adjustment Coder, and Certified Evaluation and Management Coder.

While working as a risk adjustment coder, I became involved in Clinical Documentation Improvement, where I conducted chart reviews and sent queries to providers to ensure patients received thorough follow-up care. This role exposed me to the inefficiencies within the healthcare system and highlighted the pressing need for better care coordination and advocacy.

Driven to make a more profound impact, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration and transitioned into patient advocacy. In this role, I witnessed firsthand how alternative approaches, such as Functional Medicine and Integrative Health, could transform lives—particularly when traditional medicine wasn’t providing the answers. Inspired to expand my expertise, I pursued certifications in Integrative Health, Herbalism, and Naturopathy, enabling me to guide individuals in health and wellness.
Today, I specialize in helping people navigate the complexities of the healthcare system through care coordination, chart reviews, assisting with referrals, and providing support. I work closely with seniors on Medicare/Medicaid, supporting them through waiver programs, and offer assistance in attending medical appointments virtually. With experience spanning across various healthcare settings, I am committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of those I serve. Every step of my journey has been focused on improving patient outcomes, and I remain passionate about providing a compassionate, multi-faceted approach to healthcare.

I am a member of the American Academy of Professional Coders, American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine.
