Saving Lives and Supporting Those Suffering Loss 

My role is to support and guide processes and people to improve outcomes and save as many lives as we can through organ, tissue and eye donation. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in a multitude of settings, including mortuary affairs for the military, supporting those who cared for our nation’s fallen. 

When I came to LifeSource my only connection to donation was that I was a registered donor and I had a desire to be a part of meaningful work. Now I can say my ties are so much deeper than that – I have connected with so many amazing donor families, recipients and healthcare professionals. 

The work we do every day impacts the world around us and I can’t think of anything more fulfilling than saving lives and supporting those suffering loss. I also love that our work is always improving and changing which keeps me curious and engaged. “Only boring people are bored and I never plan on being boring!”
