Hedi was a critical care nurse for over 25 years, gathering experience in three different countries. After working as an ICU Educator, she transitioned into the organ, eye, and tissue donation field. She worked for two different Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs), initially as a coordinator and then in management. She then became the Senior Director of Programs for the Organ Donation and Transplantation Alliance, leading various national initiatives, councils and workgroups.
In 2018, she founded Fundamental Roots, offering speaking, consulting, and customized training on communication, human connection, trust building, cross-cultural fluency, and physician partnership for organizations nationwide.
(Fun Fact – she has lived in 7 different countries, this explains her ever changing accent!)
