With more than 28 years of healthcare experience and firsthand experience living with lupus, I bring a unique perspective that blends clinical expertise with authentic patient advocacy.
As the Founder and Executive Director of LupUs Together NJ, I am passionate about educating, empowering, and advocating for individuals and families affected by lupus and other chronic health conditions. My work focuses on helping organizations, healthcare systems, schools, and businesses better understand the patient experience while creating meaningful opportunities for awareness, inclusion, and support.
Through consulting, training, workshops, and speaking engagements, I share practical insights, personal experiences, and evidence-based strategies that inspire action and drive positive change.
My mission is to ensure that every person living with lupus feels seen, heard, supported, and empowered to thrive.
