MY “WHY”:
I choose to work at Tamarack Grief Resource Center because I so fully believe in the power of human connection and it's ability to aid in healing after devastating loss. We don't get to choose the grief life deals us but finding a an understanding companion or community of others can make all the difference. I'm proud to be immersed so fully in a culture of care, one that believes no one has to grieve alone. Being invited to walk alongside folks on their grief journey is truly an honor.
RE-CHARGING & DELIGHT-FINDING:
I love being outside spending time at the nearest natural body of water. Ocean, lake, or stream -- I'm there. Live music, pup and kitty cuddles, and time with family and friends are also the best medicine for my soul.
