Speaker

I came to play defense — and I’ll teach your audience to do the same.

I talk about what happens when patients (especially women) walk into the exam room outgunned, and how to walk out with everything they deserve: the answers to their questions, the tests they need run, and the dignity that was nearly stolen from them. On a panel, on a mic, or on your screen — I bring the script that extinguishes gaslighting in the exam room.

Taking charge in the exam room — without burning it down. How women can be collaborators in their care, wise to common gaslighting tactics, and focused not on how they’re treated, but on what they came for and how to stay empowered about their medical journey. This is self-advocacy that gets you taken seriously instead of labeled “difficult.”

Your medical records are evidence. Treat them that way. How patients can read, request, correct, and collaborate on their own documentation — the single most underused tool in the system.

Thriving with chronic illness — in business and beyond. For young adults stepping into adulthood with life-limiting diagnoses: building a career, a life, and an identity that the illness doesn’t get to write.
