How I Can Help
I provide virtual patient advocacy for individuals and families navigating chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and other long-term health challenges. My role is to bring clarity, organization, and compassionate support to your healthcare journey — whether you’re managing your own care or supporting someone you love.

• Improve communication between you, your family, and your medical team so everyone stays informed, aligned, and heard.

• Support you during hospital stays by helping monitor communication, clarify information, and ensure responsiveness from the care team.

• Help you understand a new or complicated diagnosis by breaking down information, preparing questions, and guiding you through second opinion options.

• Assist with hospitalizations and discharges, helping you stay organized, understand next steps, and explore long-term care or follow-up needs.

• Coordinate care across multiple providers so nothing gets lost between specialists, primary care, and support services.

• Provide trusted resources — including educational materials, community programs, support organizations, and tools that help you navigate chronic illness with confidence.

• Offer steady, compassionate support so you never have to navigate chronic disease alone.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I didn’t set out to become a patient advocate — my path began with confusion and fear as I watched my mom navigate breast cancer when I was young. I remember sitting in appointments where nothing made sense, wishing someone would slow down and explain what was happening. That experience stayed with me and shaped everything that came after.

I pursued a doctorate in naturopathic medicine to better understand the body and treatment options, and later earned a Master’s in Public Health to learn how systems, access, and social factors impact care. I wanted to ask better questions, understand the “why” behind recommendations, and help others do the same.

I’ve seen these challenges in my own family and in my work as a case manager supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. I have repeatedly witnessed how overwhelming healthcare can be when you don’t have someone in your corner. I have also learned that people don’t just need information. They need someone who will stand beside them, help them ask the right questions, and make sure their voice is heard.

These experiences — personal, educational, and professional — led me to patient advocacy. I know what it feels like to sit in uncertainty, and I know how empowering it is when someone helps you find clarity. Being a patient advocate is my commitment to ensuring no one has to navigate their healthcare journey feeling alone, unheard, or unsure of their options.
