I began my career in the health care insurance industry 13 years ago as an access specialist at a level one trauma facility in the Chicago Land Area. From there, I obtained my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology at Benedictine University in 2012 and have worked as a Utilization review coordinator, crisis admission counselor, clinical therapist, and care advisor. I have a vast knowledge in Medicaid, Medicare and commercial insurance policies. I am passionate about advocating for my patients and believe that everyone should be afforded the opportunity of recovery.

She faced tremendous losses of her brother, sister and best friend to addiction, and through the pain has grown extremely passionate about helping people who are struggling themselves.

Having experienced such immense losses of her loved ones, Paige is passionate about helping not only those who are struggling, but their families too.
