Brief Bio

I have been with LifeCenter NW for six years. In my previous work I worked in a Pediatric Intensive Care as a Child Life Specialist. In that work I learned of the gift and hope that Organ Donation can be for grieving families. Witnessing this first hand led me to start my career as a Donation and Family Advocate.
At home I enjoy spending time on our family farm with my husband where we grow several types of fruit. I spend all of my down time with my Grandbabies and Adult Children. When they are not up at the farm I spend time knitting and exercising as much as possible. I also serve on a board of a small local non-profit that support children and families effected by Congenital Heart Disease. In that volunteer role I plan a summer camp for children, as well as events throughout the year.

Area(s) of Focus Responsible for training all staff to speaking to families regarding Organ and Tissue Donation as well as onboarding new hires in the Donation and Family Advocate/Family Support role. This included the Organ Recovery Coordinators as well. I also have occasional call days in which I function as a Donation and Family Advocate.
