Eating Disorder Care
Earlier intervention, access to specialized treatment, better understanding of severe illness, and a system that never writes people off as beyond help.
Advocacy & Impact
Turning lived experience into meaningful change.
My advocacy brings together patient experience, frontline healthcare perspective, nonprofit leadership, and a belief that geography should never determine who gets a chance to survive.
What I advocate for
Healthcare Access
Timely and equitable access to care regardless of geography, including support for patients who must travel far from home for life-saving treatment.
Patient Voice
Bringing lived experience into healthcare conversations so clinicians, leaders, families, and decision-makers understand the human impact of systems and policies.
