How I Can Help
I provide Independent Advocacy Services and care packages for older adults both with a partner and those aging adults that are "solo agers". I am in the Tampa Bay area on Florida’s West Coast. If you live out of state, having a trusted local advocate offers something priceless: reassurance that your aging parent’s health, safety, and quality of life are being actively supported. For you, it means peace of mind and freedom from constant worry.
For those aging alone—or for anyone who wants to be proactive—I create customized healthcare portfolios. These ensure that if illness or crisis strikes, a trusted friend or advocate can step in seamlessly with the information they need. If needed, I am also happy to consult on your pets with a veterinarian, if needed. If you have a pet and you don't know where to turn, I am happy to ask questions with you to clarify options.
With my background in healthcare and case management, I bring the structure, oversight, and follow-through that turn uncertainty into confidence and worry into peace of mind. I consider it an honor to work with you and your family member.
Whether your loved one lives independently or in a facility, I can provide well-checks, personalized recommendations, and oversight—offering insights into issues you might not even be aware of. Together, we can put strategies in place so your loved one receives the care they deserve and you expect.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
First, it was my great aunt in a facility, facing medical and mental health challenges with no one else to step in. I became her advocate. Then it was my mother, whose complicated medical journey pushed me into nursing school and taught me how persistence and clear communication can change outcomes. When she was almost transferred to a skilled nursing facility unnecessarily, advocacy made the difference—one phone call and one medication change later, she went from almost unresponsive to alert and able to return home for rehab. That wasn’t luck. That was advocacy.
Most recently, I cared for my father in his 90s. Those years taught me that safety planning, unique strategies, and having a backup plan are not optional—they are the difference between chaos and peace. Some days were filled with joy, others with frustration, but the lesson was clear: love alone isn’t enough. Without preparation, even the most devoted families can burn out or miss critical opportunities.
These experiences are why I now offer advocacy services as a profession. I don’t want other families to feel the isolation, confusion, or fear that I faced. My role is to make sure you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. I help you anticipate transitions, review medications and doctor’s notes, attend appointments when you can’t, and set up safety and back-up plans before they’re needed.
Because here’s the truth: a crisis will come. You can face it in chaos, or you can face it prepared. Advocacy is not just for the sick or the elderly—it’s a gift you can give to your loved ones and to yourself. It’s peace of mind that lets you be fully present when it matters most.
You don’t have to do this alone. And you shouldn’t.
For older adults, it’s reassurance that they are seen, heard, and supported. For adult children, it’s freedom from constant worry—and the ability to simply be a son, daughter, or friend again.
