Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I've been the patient, the nurse, the parent, and the survivor. Like many I serve, I've fought through gaslighting, dismissal, and a system that ignores complexity. After nearly dying in 2024 from medical crises, I vowed to use what I learned to ensure no one else fights alone.
After 18 years as a bedside nurse and almost three decades in healthcare, I realized it was time for a new path. I founded 14th Street Advocacy to redefine healthcare, championing a system where advocacy, authenticity, and strategic support empower individuals. I now use my clinical skills, investigative mindset, and deep empathy to guide those ready for answers but exhausted by the system. You deserve a plan that meets your needs, and someone to walk beside you. I built 14th Street Advocacy Group to offer the support I couldn't find: someone who sees the big picture, listens deeply, and navigates both care and crisis. You don't have to face this journey alone; we are here to support you.
