Introducing Myself :)

I've spent over 15 years working inside the healthcare system as a patient advocate and Biologic and Prior Authorization Coordinator at a pulmonary specialty practice. That work taught me something I carry with me every single day: the system was not built equally, and far too many people are left trying to navigate it alone.

That's exactly why I founded The Compass Collective, a patient advocacy and life transition support practice created specifically for BIPOC and underserved communities. Whether someone is fighting for treatment access, processing grief, or simply trying to figure out their next step, I show up for them. My work is trauma-informed, bilingual-accessible, and comes from a place of genuine care.

I'm also a current doctoral candidate in Human Services in Counseling, hold a Master of Arts with a concentration in Trauma and Crisis Counseling, and am a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP-T A/C). I didn't get these credentials to put letters behind my name. I got them because the people I serve deserve someone who is prepared, skilled, and deeply committed to them.

If you're here, whether you've been following for a while or just found me today, welcome. There's room for you here.
