As the Director of Public Policy at National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, I lead the policy advocacy efforts to improve the lives and care of long-term care consumers nationwide. With over 17 years of experience as a lawyer and a policy advocate, I have a strong background in legal services, human rights, and elder justice. I use my skills in policy development, policy writing, and strategic communication to influence legislation, regulations, and enforcement on issues affecting long-term care consumers, such as quality of care, resident rights, abuse and neglect, and COVID-19 response. I also collaborate with various stakeholders, including federal and state agencies, lawmakers, advocates, and consumers, to build coalitions, raise awareness, and amplify the voices of long-term care consumers. My mission is to advance the dignity, respect, and well-being of long-term care consumers, and to ensure that they receive the highest quality of care and services. I am passionate about creating a more equitable, inclusive, and compassionate long-term care system that respects the diversity and preferences of consumers and their families.
