When I’m asked how I serve my community as a lupus/patient advocate, I only need three words to answer: I make connections. There is a major disconnect between patients, patient advocacy, patient perspectives and the healthcare community. Through speaking engagements, copywriting, lupus education workshops and consulting, I help bridge those gaps, bringing patients’ voices to the table for pharmaceutical companies, medical professionals and healthcare and service organizations.

My advocacy and awareness work, includes:

Feature by the US Department and Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health to highlight Lupus

Lupus Foundation of Florida Board Member

WEGO Health Patient Expert

WEGO Health Activist Hero Nominee

Lupus Research Alliance Patient Advocate for Annual Advocacy and Hill Day in Washington D.C.

Featured in a lupus awareness segment for Lifetime Television’s show “The Balancing Act”

Led Education Session on Lupus for 2017 Black Nurses Rock Annual National Convention in Orlando, Fla.
