1) Describe briefly how you got involved with Empty Arms.

I started Empty Arms in 2007 after the death of my first baby, Charlotte, to a cord accident.

2) What makes you most proud of the work we do/What do you like most about Empty Arms?

I am just completely amazed at how this community has grown over the past 17 years. To see the friendships and supportive relationships that have come out of EABS groups and activities brings me immense joy and satisfaction. It is just such a privilege to bring people together at a time when they need each other the most.

3) Share a passion in your life and/or work outside of EABS.

I have four living children and I relish every moment I have with them: swimming, kayaking, hiking, doing puzzles, and playing card games. I love to be outdoors, to garden and to be surrounded by nature.
