Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
At three years old, I yanked an IV out of my own arm. According to my mom, when I woke up from my tonsillectomy, I saw the IV and boldly informed the recovery nurse, "I don't want this here!" before pulling it right out. It's our family's earliest record of my lifelong commitment to patient autonomy (though I definitely don't recommend this approach!).
That defiant toddler would grow up to face down tough doctors and tougher bureaucracies, advocating for myself through multiple chronic, complex conditions, as well as for my family members and friends as they faced complex care needs of their own. I experienced how powerless and overwhelmed patients often feel navigating labyrinth healthcare systems and clinician interactions.
In 2025, I became a Board-Certified Patient Advocate (BCPA) to formalize the work I'd been doing for decades and expand my service offerings to more patients.
