How I Can Help
My Specialty is reviewing someone's past medical history as well as work history and find little known benefits they qualify for, ie: V.A, benefits for Veterans as well as the spouse, finding funding for home alterations for the disabled. Case Management.
Important Information About Me
  • My geographical area of practice is Gulf Coast - Primarily Mississippi
Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
In the course of my 20+ year nursing career I realized most of the patients and the families have no idea where to start with figuring out obtaining benefits, following up with Medical Care, Hospice, care in home, etc.

I LOVE seeing the affect of helping people. I love to teach patients and families all sorts of things from medical care to how to obtain benefits so they are informed and can make the best choices for the situation. I can walk someone through the process or perform the process on their behalf.

Additional Skills
I am experienced in several cultural and religious beliefs. I respect a person's choice even if I do not agree. I have a son with a brain injury since he was 2 years old. He is now 33 and living on his own. I have a husband that was a physical therapist for 20+ years and because of a "simple" knee scope and a set of unfortunate events, is now disabled. I worked as a nurse in Geriatrics for many years and understand the struggles for them and the families. I am currently studying Military advocacy and benefits.
