My interest in death and dying emerges from a genuine desire to be a part of the change that is taking place in the way death is viewed in our culture. While most of us are not eager to leave this world, we all share the experience of dying. Working to make this transition easier, more meaningful, and, perhaps, beautiful is an honor.

The word "crisis" is especially relevant at end of life: while it suggests a time of extreme urgency and difficulty, it also holds within its meaning an opportunity for change and transition that is both natural and essential.

My educational background includes:

End of Life Doula Professional Certificate, University of Vermont
Master's Degree in Gerontology, USC
Master's Degree in English, ASU
AZ Certified Caregiver

Memberships / Associations:

Aging Life Care Manager (ALCA)
National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA)
Society of Certified Senior Advisors (CSA)

My educational background provides the foundation for both practical and contextual support for the dying experience. It provides me with the skills and knowledge to communicate effectively about end of life topics. I hope you will agree.
