My Survivor Support Advocacy Qualifications
I am a survivor of Spondylitis, Gastroparesis, Primary Immune Deficiency (PID), Chronic Migraine, Narcolepsy, Long COVID, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Joint Hypermobility, Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension (IIH)
I became disabled at 12 and spent years misdiagnosed, later learning I was living with multiple chronic and rare conditions. That journey taught me how isolating and overwhelming the healthcare system can be, and why no one should face it alone.

Today, I am a Board Certified Patient Advocate who combines lived experience with professional expertise to guide patients through insurance, medical, and systemic barriers. My role is to stand beside survivors so they feel heard, supported, and empowered to get the care they deserve.
Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My journey into patient advocacy began with years of personal experience navigating the healthcare system as someone living with multiple chronic illnesses and rare diseases. I’ve faced denials, misdiagnoses, and endless paperwork and I know how overwhelming and isolating it can feel.

Over time, I became the go-to person for friends and family dealing with their own health crises. That experience, combined with my passion for helping others feel seen and supported, led me to become a Board Certified Patient Advocate.

Today, I use my lived experience and professional training to help others find clarity, confidence, and control in even the most complex healthcare situations.
