Board Certified Patient Advocate: Healthcare & Medical Care Navigation and Advocacy
Free 15 min Intro Call
Years of Experience
In-Person & Virtual Support Available
As a seasoned healthcare professional with a profound understanding of the system and a history of empowering patients and clients, I seek to impact lives at the highest level and to demystify healthcare. I advocate (moving with agility, adapting to changing situations) and navigate.
I guide with empathy, educate with knowledge, and empower with action. Informed decision-making is at the heart of equipping and ensuring clients, or those they love, with choices that align with their needs and beliefs, not someone else's. "No," is never a settling point.
In our first 30 minutes, I will get to know you and gain an understanding of your needs and what you are looking for in an advocate. We’ll discuss how I can help, and if everything sounds good, I’ll send over a contract, and we can get started. I look forward to meeting you!
