About me
For years, I worked in oncology social services, guiding patients through the system. But when I faced my own cancer diagnosis, the crushing weight of managing records, appointments, and fragmented resources hit me firsthand. I realized that if a healthcare insider found the administrative chaos overwhelming, the average family didn't stand a chance. I founded Beacon Cancer Navigation to be the exact resource I wish I had: a virtual guide across Greater Colorado who handles the non-clinical heavy lifting so you can focus entirely on healing.
