I’d love to hear from you! If you are interested in collaborating on any of the following, please reach out: writing projects and workshops, symposia and conferences, guest lectures, and other work that raises awareness around the issues of homelessness, end-of-life care, and/or disparities in the death and dying experience.
I am thrilled to offer my research expertise as a guest lecturer or to host a talk. Furthermore, I’d be interested in developing partnership opportunities where my materials could be adapted into your curriculum.
