Five years ago, I was a colorectal cancer patient navigating a system that felt overwhelming and isolating. Today, I’m a healthcare advocate who’s had the privilege of serving on research committees, speaking at conferences, and helping shape the future of patient-centered care.

The transformation didn’t happen overnight, and it wasn’t always clear. I made mistakes, faced rejection, and often wondered if I was doing any of this “right.” But through trial, error, and the guidance of incredible mentors in the advocacy community, I discovered that there is a path from survivorship to meaningful impact.

That’s why I wrote “From Patient to Advocate: Turning Survivorship Into Impact.”

Releasing March 1, 2026, at the start of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, this book is the guide I wish I’d had when I started. It’s not just my story; it’s a practical roadmap for anyone who wants to turn their patient experience into advocacy that creates real change.

Inside, you’ll discover:

How to find your authentic advocacy voice without comparing yourself to others
Practical strategies for getting involved in research, policy, and community advocacy
Ways to balance advocacy work with your personal life and health
How to build meaningful partnerships with organizations and other advocates
Tips for avoiding burnout while staying passionate about your mission

This book is for the newly diagnosed person wondering “what’s next?”, the long-term survivor ready to give back, and anyone who’s ever thought, “There has to be a better way to do this.”
