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.
