How I Can Help
If you or your loved one is struggling to get the care you need or just understand the complex medical world, I am here to help. I am an experienced RN with a background in acute/long-term, palliative, hospice and surgical nursing. My approach is based on compassionate listening, understanding the needs and offering guidance. I am available to help with medical record review, understanding diagnosis or discharge instructions, accompanying medical appointments, and billing/insurance review. Everyone deserves access to comprehensive care and to make informed decision about their health and wellbeing.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Having been a nurse for 14 years and in the healthcare world for almost 20, I understand the frustrations, fears and concerns regarding the medical system. I became a nurse because I wanted to help people, and be by their side on some of the most difficult days of their lives. Being an advocate is who I am to the core. Everyone experiences the medical system at some point in their life, it's important to have someone by your side to help navigate the difficult conversations and decisions that come along with it.
