Meet emotion with action

Keynote Speaker

Consultant

Coach

I am a patient advocate through the three pillars of speaking, consulting, and coaching.

My professional career has been in medical device and equipment sales and training for 25 years. I was diagnosed with severe Normal Tension Glaucoma in July 2020 and have become a patient advocate.

I am a keynote speaker sharing a message of hope by meeting emotion with action. I consult with ophthalmology companies to help them earn the trust of their patients. Finally, I guide patients through coaching them on how to advocate for themselves.

“It is extrememly terrifying to be presented with a glaucoma diagnosis and I was in need of mental health support, and technical information - Hillary has this combination in spades. She is such a beacon of hope and positivity and her technical knowledge of glaucoma is the icing on the cake. I am deeply grateful for my session with her.” - S.B.

“I reached out seeking guidance on improving self-advocacy during my appointments with the Glaucoma Specialist. My coaching session was incredibly beneficial and I came away with concrete, actionable recommendations to achieve my goal. I am deeply appreciative of Hillary for incorporating 'Glaucoma Coach' into her repertoire. Her insights, drawn from personal experience, research, and connections with glaucoma experts and organizations, have been invaluable.” - Nancy L
