My experience as a volunteer for hospice preceded my role as a Volunteer Coordinator. I recognized as a volunteer, time spent with a patient during end-of-life care is a privilege that leaves a lasting impression on the volunteer. The experience in the field , serving as a liaison between the patient, family, and hospice staff, created lasting memories that added to both the patient and my own life.

Through my own journey and experience with loss and grief, I understand the commitment to be a dedicated professional who is passionate about end-of-life philosophy. My background includes building volunteer programs by recruiting, training and educating volunteers who provide support, respite care, and bereavement services to terminally ill patients and their families.
