• Seasoned Survivorship Strategist • Thought Leader
In the journey from clinical treatment to holistic survival, a critical disconnect often occurs. I work in that space. As a seasoned survivorship strategist and 2025 Bush Fellow, I partner with mission-aligned organizations to design heart-centered programs that honor the human experience, and I equip individuals to advocate for their whole-person care. My mission is to transform the cancer journey, ensuring every person feels seen, heard, supported, and prepared not just to survive, but to thrive.
⚊ HOW CAN I HELP
My mission is to transform the cancer journey, ensuring every person feels seen, heard, supported, and prepared not just to survive, but to thrive.
I provide strategic guidance at the intersection of community advocacy and clinical care. I partner with organizations on initiatives focused on improving clinical trial equity, enhancing survivorship care, advancing health equity, and fostering authentic community connection.
From the keynote stage to the host's chair. I deliver dynamic talks and facilitate powerful conversations that challenge perspectives and inspire meaningful action on survivorship and health equity.
