Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
After more than 20 years of working as a CNA, I became a patient advocate in social services, community outreach, and advocacy. My journey began with a deep passion for mental health awareness and personal wellness, stemming from my background in counseling psychology. I was dedicated to fostering resilience and self-advocacy in the communities I served.

My career allowed me to engage with diverse populations, including children and families, senior citizens, immigrants, and individuals with disabilities. Fluent in English and Spanish, I utilized exceptional interpersonal communication and translation/interpreting skills to facilitate meaningful connections and support across cultural boundaries.

Through my experience in care coordination, case management, and client advocacy, I honed my expertise in navigating complex systems and collaborating with stakeholders to meet critical needs. This led me to realize the importance of advocating for individuals within these systems.

My commitment to empowering individuals and facilitating positive change led me to the role of a patient advocate. I leveraged my comprehensive understanding of social services and healthcare to support and represent patients, ensuring their voices and needs were heard. My customer service, training, and educational outreach skills proved invaluable in this role.

Becoming a patient advocate allowed me to combine my professional skills with my values, advocating for those in need and making a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals navigating the healthcare system.
