Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I am a two-time cancer survivor. I combine my lived experience as a cancer survivor with formal training in oncology patient navigation, as well as volunteer work with community based and national cancer organizations to support individuals and families navigating cancer. Additionally. I bring more than 20 years of advocacy experience working with women, youth, and people with disabilities to overcome barriers and navigate complex systems. I look forward to the opportunity to support you throughout the cancer experience.
