Daughter of a body donor and a liver transplant recipient, she transformed pain into purpose. After ten years as a family caregiver, she founded her own law firm specializing in health law, dedicated to advocating for patients and advising healthcare professionals. She trained as an end-of-life doula to better understand her own grieving process and, through that experience, began supporting patients and families throughout their care journey. In Bioethics, she found ways to research and promote autonomy, dignity, and care at the end of life. As a professor, she is dedicated to educating healthcare professionals, driven by the belief that education can transform not only the way we care for others, but also the way we live, die, and accompany those who are dying.
