Pronouns: She/Her
Role: Director of Intake
Length of time with PHLP: Three years
What aspect of our mission do you most connect with?: I have a rare disease and it was challenging to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment. I empathize with people who call our Helpline because they are struggling to get the care they need. I feel fortunate to support our clients on this journey.
What has been your proudest moment at PHLP?: The intake team reaches out to everyone who contacts us. If we can't help directly we offer high quality referrals. I feel proud of our quick response time and I am touched when I connect with someone who has contacted many other organizations and not received a response.
What is your personal motto or mantra?: "Just keep going."
Share a fun fact about yourself: I share my life with 2 senior cats and a pug named Rocky. Pre-COVID, Rocky was my PHLP officemate and won employee of the month!
