As an attorney, I have spent my career advocating for others, helping people navigate complex systems, and ensuring that their voices are heard. That commitment to advocacy became deeply personal when my father was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. I quickly learned firsthand how much time, energy, and persistence it takes to be both a daughter and an advocate. When my father’s managed care organization denied a referral to a surgical oncologist who specialized in his rare cancer, I was able to draw on my legal and healthcare background to understand the process, identify the right people to contact, and effectively appeal the denial. That experience reinforced for me how important it is to have someone in your corner who understands not only the healthcare system, but also how to navigate it on a patient’s behalf.

For the past five years, I have continued that work as a patient advocate, supporting patients and families as they navigate the often complex and overwhelming healthcare system. I have learned that effective advocacy is frequently found in the small but essential details: finding the right person who can provide an accurate answer, asking the right questions, following up when an issue remains unresolved, and ensuring that the appropriate documentation is completed and submitted—sometimes more than once.

My legal career and personal experience as a caregiver have taught me the importance of persistence, communication, and collaboration. Most importantly, my five years as a patient advocate have reinforced my belief that patients and their families deserve to feel heard, informed, and supported. While I pride myself on my ability to collaborate and work effectively with others, my priority is always to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate advocacy and support that I would want for my own family.
