As a survivor of a life-threatening heat stroke due to systemic negligence during my time as a Division I football player, I experienced firsthand the devastating consequences of inadequate healthcare. This moment in my life ignited my passion for patient advocacy and my commitment to ensuring that others don’t have to go through what I did.
My advocacy is deeply rooted in my personal mission: to enhance the quality and safety of care, improve patient outcomes, and eliminate disparities in healthcare access and delivery. I want to amplify patient voices to create a healthcare system where patient safety being at the forefront of everyone’s mind is the norm.
As a member of Patients for Patient Safety, I am honored to contribute my lived experiences and professional expertise to enhance care for all. Together, we can build a future where healthcare is safer, more equitable, and centered on the most important person of all in any healthcare journey. The patient!
