Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I am a Registered Nurse, Sociologist, and Professional Patient Advocate offering consultation within the scope of Patient Advocacy. With years of experience bridging healthcare gaps, I bring compassion and understanding to our work together. During my twelve years as a Doula supporting clients before, during, and after childbirth, I observed a multitude of successes and failures in hospitals and birth centers. Rather than relying on my observations in these areas alone, however, I pursued formal training in the social analysis of medicine through my master's and doctoral research. My work as an applied sociologist advocating for patients is possible because of the half-decade of full-time, formal Ph.D. training I completed at one of the top research universities in the world. This, along with my education and experience as a RN, mean that I can offer comprehensive and strategic advocacy that is responsive to your lived experiences with health, healthcare, and illness.
