Current Project: Responding to Health Challenges

I am currently devoting my time to gathering stories of folks who have faced critical health challenges. The goal is to gather insights from others who have had similar experiences. Sharing their experiences anonymously in a book or other publication can help folks and their loved ones cope with serious health challenges.

For more information, see Responding to Health Challenges.

Experience

  • Prior employment in historic preservation consulting, project management, and education.
