Engaging partners to become donation advocates. 

I am honored to serve LifeSource as a Hospital Partner Liaison and support our mission of saving and healing lives through donation. My role is to collaborate with hospital and LifeSource staff to build and strengthen our relationship. I provide support and education to our partner hospitals, review and present data, bring awareness in the hospital community, and support our donor families.

Prior to joining the LifeSource team, I was a Chaplain at the St. Cloud Hospital where I also served as the Donation Committee chair. Through my end-of-life work in chaplaincy, as well as through my work as donation chair, I was fortunate to witness the generosity and love of donor families amid tremendous tragedy and grief.

Every day, I am inspired by the work of donation. So many people come together to facilitate this work from the donors and their families, each hospital staff person in many different departments who care for them, the LifeSource and transplant staff, and finally the recipients and their families who take great care of the gifts given to them. It is a beautiful witness of our common humanity.
