I have always been interested in storytelling. With careers in video editing, educational publishing, advertising and interior design, my objective was to help clients uncover and tell their own distinctive stories. I truly believe that everyone has a unique story to tell, which can in turn create opportunities for legacy, ritual, meaning making and life review.

After completing training as a Death Doula and End-of-Life Planner through Going with Grace, I received proficiency with the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance. As a volunteer with AccentCare Hospice and Palliative Care and the No One Dies Alone initiative, I provide companionship and a supportive presence to those in need. I am on the board of the Chicago Death Doula Collective, whose mission is to provide Chicagoans with holistic, inclusive and accessible death care, death education and death advocacy. I am Reiki level 1 certified and recently received my 200-hour yoga teacher training certification.
