Healthcare professional. Patient advocate. Policy leader. Community builder.

With over 20 years in healthcare — from laboratory services and phlebotomy to pharmacy compounding and nonprofit leadership — my career has been driven by one goal: improving patient lives. I currently serve as Associate Director of the HypoPARAthyroidism Association, where I lead advocacy, education, and public policy initiatives for the rare disease community.

Alongside my nonprofit work, I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician and Compounding Technician, and an active member of the Texas Pharmacy Association’s Public Policy Council. I also volunteer with Patients Rising, the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases, and the Chronic Disease Coalition to elevate patient voices and influence healthcare policy.

I believe meaningful change happens when experience, empathy, and action come together — and I’m passionate about turning patient stories into policy solutions.
