Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My journey into patient advocacy began the day I realized that even with decades of healthcare experience behind me, navigating the system for a loved one was far more difficult than it should be. Despite my clinical and administrative background, I encountered delays, bias, incomplete information, and moments when it felt as though no one was genuinely listening to me.
Standing in that gap — between what should happen and what was actually happening — changed the course of my career. It showed me firsthand how overwhelming, isolating, and vulnerable healthcare can feel, even for those who understand it. And it affirmed something I now hold as the foundation of my work: every patient and every family deserves to feel heard, supported, empowered, and not alone.
That experience ultimately led me to become a Board-Certified Patient Advocate and to establish Patient Advocates of Southwest FL, LLC. Today, I bring a combination of clinical insight, healthcare leadership experience, and lived advocacy to each client I serve. My work focuses on providing clarity in complex situations, enhancing communication between patients and providers, and ensuring that every client receives care tailored to their needs and beliefs.
At PAoSWFL, I advocate with both compassion and resolve — serving as a clear voice, a strategic guide, and a trusted partner for patients and families who need more than the system can offer on its own.
