I take action for equity because we live in a society where our leaders in our neighborhoods and communities are unaware of how their actions and behaviors affect other people’s lives. We have to learn to be accountable and acknowledge our unconsciousness while showing empathy and gratitude.

Prior to CommonHealth ACTION, she worked as a patient advocate at a nonprofit hospital, ensuring that patients received necessary resources to meet their health conditions. While coaching patients struggling with substance abuse, she conducted research on the opioid epidemic and used these learnings to develop effective rehabilitation plans.
