I help individuals discover and embrace their pivot toward a healthier professional and personal self-being.

Helping individuals (Caregivers) make an impact in their own lives; first for themselves.

I have the opportunity to work with a dedicated team of individuals that care for the patients and staff who visit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta - Egelston. My responsibility is to compliment what our staff chaplains do in providing care for the patients and their families, by providing care for the Children's staff. I meet with individuals and teams to discuss and educate on self-care and resilence both on a professional and personal level. I provide guidance and direction on professional and personal issues as called up on by staff. I create and lead celebratory and remembrace events as requested and serve on committee as needed. My responsibilities are consistant and evolving.

I serve families who are anticipating the loss of a loved one or have lost a loved one. I follow patient and their families from our initial interaction to 13 plus months. My time with them consists of providing emotional and spiritual support and being present with them as they walk their understanding of this journey of life and faith. I also serve our staff as they care for these family on a daily basis. I provide a listening presence, an encouraging word and a place where they can grieve appropriately as they too understand and need to do so.

Asked to recreate the campus ministry programs for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Georgia at the University of Georgia and The Georgia Institute of Technology. Was able to establish a core group of students and helped to advise them on how to create programs where they could use their gifts and talents to make a difference on their campus community. I was involved with the Embark Georgia Network on both campuses. Embark worked with student attending these campuses who came out of homeless situations or foster care situtations. One of the main goals was to provide a support network for these students actually beginning before they entered school through graduation.

I worked with patients, their families and our hospital staff providing them emotional, mental and spiritual resources needed depending on the experience or experiences they encountered. I created and led training events with our staff on working with various cultures and faith traditions, end of life situations and other situations as needed. I served as an ambassador throughout our community for the hospital and was asked to speak at organizations on a regular basis. I was a guest lecturer at Auburn University in the Schools of Nursing and Journalism and the School of Nursing at Southern Union State Community College speaking on topics ranging from grief support, end of life decisions, career choices, self care and other topics as requested by the professors.

I worked with first year students coming into the program on creating their first semester schedule and answered any questions they may have about the process.
