What is your day job?

Transplant Social Worker

When did you join the board?

Between 3 and 4 years ago

Why did you join the board?

I have been working with patients with blood cancer going through stem cell transplant for more than a decade and see the challenges and sacrifices they make as they seek treatment. I wanted to be part of an organization making a difference in their journey outside the medical center.

If you could say one thing to patients battling blood cancers in Rochester, what would it be?

You have great strength, and, sometimes asking for help and accepting help from your community can give you the lift you need to move through the tough days.

What are your favorite free-time activities?

Camping, walking, reading, and spending time with my kids.

What is your favorite quote?

One I like is “Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” - Howard Zinn
