CrowdHealth

I quit paying obscene health insurance premiums to faceless corporations & joined a revolution where real humans support each other's medical bills - it's awesome.  No networks. No premiums. No BS.  

Ask me how I sleep at night knowing healthcare doesn't own me anymore.

Emergency Medicine Physician Associate

Physician Associate

NFL Cheerleader turned EMPA | Award-winning Health Leader | Functional Medicine Advocate | International Speaker | Media Contributor | Podcaster Extraordinaire 😉

I burned out as an Emergency Medicine PA after treating thousands of patients through lockdowns, mandates, and with conflicted guidance and uncertainty.  I ended up depressed, apathetic and completely demoralized. 

I was drowning. The healthcare system was broken and I felt powerless to fix it. 

I started writing on LinkedIn in Summer 2021 with zero followers. I had no idea what I was doing. Just a burned-out healthcare worker who needed an outlet and had strong opinions about fixing the system.

This led to:

• 10K+ followers in 6 months
• Non-clinical unicorn position
• Flexible clinical research role
• Regular podcast appearances
• Keynote speaking opportunities
• Featured in Medscape and US News
• Brand consulting that 3x'd my clinical salary
• Press access to cover FDA and HHS (my dream)

I'm not that smart and have no special training in marketing, and yet, writing online saved my life and changed absolutely everything from my finances to my mental health.

The healthcare professionals I've helped have experienced similar transformations.  

And I love being a part of their stories and I finally feel fulfilled. Through their work and my own,  I'm finally changing healthcare and helping patients in a real way. 

Your expertise is your competitive advantage - you just need to show up consistently and authentically.

My beliefs that drive everything I do:

- Healthcare needs more voices online
- Your expertise deserves a bigger stage
- Opportunities come to those who show up
- Mental health matters more than any paycheck

How can I help you?

• Writing systems that create opportunities 
• Sponsorships for mission-aligned companies that connect you with your customers.

It took years to establish myself as a dynamic, influential healthcare leader. My career path has evolved from the C-suite to starting my own company. As a trailblazer for women in healthcare administration. I am proud to be an alumna of the George Washington Milken Institute of Public Health and honored to showcase my impactful work and mentorship.

As a Connecticut native, I grew up in an academic family where education was emphasized to fulfill your career aspirations. I am now the founder of 2 companies: Elite Healthcare & Executive Virtual Assistant Service and MyHireRoads. Elite Healthcare & Executive Virtual Assistant is a service that provides virtual assistants to help people better streamline their business. MyHireRoads is a career development company that supplies resumes, LinkedIn profile optimization, mock interview coaching, and more. 

Before this career milestone, I  excelled in specialties of healthcare analytics, project management, and team leadership as the former COO of one of the largest multispecialty groups in the Northeast, which Optum acquired. I know the value of women's leadership in healthcare. I believe including female voices will help the industry diversify its problem-solving capabilities. As a mother of two, I appreciate the multitasking mastery of women who will continue to serve the future of healthcare.

My advice to current students or recent grads is the following: 

Go boldly through your their career, "Don't let your defeats cripple you. Let them make you stronger." I encourage students to push through shortcomings by learning from them. "Go with your gut!" They are life lessons whether good are bad are tools to learn from and are invaluable. They will help guide your career choices.
