Who Am I?
What Makes Me Unique?
15+ Years of Professional Experience
I've gained firsthand experience in nearly every facet of the healthcare industry. (Get ready for an extensive list of diverse experiences!)
Graduate degrees in Neuropsychology and Nutrition Science
Certifications for EMT, personal training, and life coaching
Research in both clinical and laboratory settings
Administration in both hospitals and small clinics
Health-tech founder as well as employee of multiple health-tech startups
Podcast producer for multiple healthcare-related podcasts (Invisible Not Broken, HumanCare, Caregiving Soul, Hidden Costs of Health)
Community manager for multiple chronic illness & disability groups and healthcare podcast networks
20+ Years of Chronic Patient Experience
I live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Fibromyalgia, Mast-Cell Activation Syndrome (MCATS), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Despite experiencing symptoms since the age of 12, I wasn't accurately diagnosed until I turned 30. Through years of navigating the healthcare system, I've encountered both deeply challenging and surprisingly positive experiences. These encounters have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of what works and what doesn't within the healthcare system from the patient's perspective.
8+ Years of Partnership with Doctors
Fun fact - I don’t just support clinicians professionally, it’s something I live and breathe daily. Why? I am married to a physician. I met him 6 weeks into his residency intern year, and we have been riding the waves together ever since. Not only that, but I have dozens of clinician friends, and a massive part of my social life has been spent learning about their experiences and how to support them best. So in short, I get it!
MY PURPOSE: IMPACT
My purpose is to transform healthcare by fostering empathy and human connection, both individually and collectively. I aim to enhance relationships between patients and doctors and beyond, creating a more compassionate and effective healthcare system. Through coaching, I empower healthcare decision-makers and leaders to drive systematic transformation, ultimately enriching the healthcare experience for everyone involved.
MY PHILOSOPHY
**"To transform healthcare, we must rewire our priorities to focus on human connection and well-being - individually, interpersonally, and collectively. By fostering empathy in the healthcare environment, we can enhance outcomes and improve quality of life, creating a ripple effect that elevates the experience for everyone involved. It all begins with a simple moment of being human with one another."**
MY CONTRIBUTION
I coach healthcare decision-makers, from C-suite executives to directors, key influencers, and clinicians, who are frustrated with the current system and eager to become true change-makers and leave meaningful legacies. My clients are curious, creative, empathetic, and authentic; ready to drive real transformation from the inside out. Together, we excavate and elevate your innate gifts, cultivating an actionable vision that inspires transformative, system-wide improvements, leading to better healthcare experiences for everyone involved.
