My Guiding Compass in Advocacy:

Speak up, but do it with respect.
Challenge, but do it with understanding.
And always push forward with purpose — Real change happens through conversation, not confrontation.

I was 28 when my mom died, but her profound wisdom always guides me 💙

ASCO has a palliative care community of practice in which a patient advocate pillar was organized with @jillfeldman4.bsky.social, Ameish, and I as members. I have served since September 2023 as the lead and will hand over the role later this year.
