A Body of Work
I feel very privileged to have such an extended tenure within a field of service as holistic and fulfilling as Hospice Palliative Care. It has become my life's work, through humble beginnings as an In-Home Hospice Volunteer at 19 years of age, to serving the homeless and vulnerably housed living with a life-limiting illness.
