Experience
Director of Special Projects
Aug 2025 — Present
I\'m part of a new effort at our organization to intentionally reach out to groups of people who are traditionally underserved in terms of serious illness care. We ALL deserve to be informed of our care options, to be able to choose them (or not), and to have access to these services.
