I have a genuine passion for helping clients and their loved ones, find solutions when their healthcare needs become complex and overwhelming. As a caregiver and case manager to my own family and clients, I am experienced in “Decision Support Advocacy,” by coordinating goal-oriented medical and financial plans, balanced with providing empathetic, patient-centered support.
I specialize in helping individuals with chronic conditions who need compassionate, strong, collaborative communication between healthcare providers, insurance companies, caregivers, and their families.
I proactively address patient needs by providing a second set of ears, taking detailed notes, and utilizing my expert communication skills. My effective cross-functional communication with physicians, providers, and staff ensures the highest level of patient excellence and support. I am your first point of contact to address, investigate, and resolve conflicts, avoiding a disruption in quality healthcare.
