ABOUT FAMILY PROTECTION PROJECT
I have been in the room, I have also been in the chair.
The story behind why I built this - and why no family should have to learn it the hard way.
my story
Fifteen Years.
Almost Every Seat in the Room.
Where it started
Before Family Protection Project existed, I spent more than 15 years working inside healthcare, hospice, and clinical operations — helping patients, supporting caregivers, and watching families navigate some of the hardest moments of their lives.
I’ve worked everywhere from the front desk to executive healthcare leadership.
I’ve sat beside grieving families. Helped caregivers navigate impossible decisions. Coordinated care during moments of crisis. Led operational teams across healthcare systems. And over the years, one thing became painfully clear:
Most families are completely unprepared for what happens when life changes overnight.
Not because they don’t care. but because no one told them this was coming.
And nobody ever handed them a roadmap when it did.
That realization stayed with me for years.
And eventually, it became impossible to ignore
when it got real
My career gave me a front-row seat to the realities families face behind closed doors.
The financial stress after a diagnosis.
The caregiver burnout nobody talks about.
The confusion surrounding end-of-life decisions.
The guilt families carry when they’re forced to make choices in survival mode.
Over time, I realized families didn’t just need more information.
They needed guidance they could actually trust.
That realization shaped everything that came next.
Today, I’m a Certified Grief Counselor (AIHCP) with a background in psychology, healthcare leadership, and strategic business operations. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, an MBA in Healthcare Management, and I’m currently a Doctoral Candidate in Business with a focus in Strategic Management.
But truthfully, the degrees were never the mission.
The mission was building the resources families should have had all along.
The guides.
The conversations.
The practical tools.
The roadmap.
The things nobody hands you until you’re already overwhelmed.
why i built this
Family Protection Project has been years in the making. It was built from everything I witnessed working in healthcare, hospice, caregiving, leadership, and family advocacy — but also from my own life.
Because somewhere along the way, I stopped being only the person helping patients.
I became one too.
I live with an autoimmune disease that is slowly changing what my body is capable of doing. Things my family loves — like snowboarding trips and active adventures — have started to look different than they once did. And while that reality hasn’t taken away my purpose, it has changed my perspective in a profound way.
For years, I helped families prepare for difficult moments. Now I’m preparing my own.
One day, my family may be the ones making decisions for me. And after everything I’ve witnessed over the last 15 years, I refuse to leave them without a roadmap.
That is the foundation behind everything I create.
Removing the guesswork.
Reducing the chaos.
Helping families prepare before crisis forces them to.
Because there is no reason families should have to navigate these moments completely alone.
Not anymore.
The guides are here now.
The Life Behind the Work.
Outside of Family Protection Project, I’m also a wife, a mother, and someone learning — very humbly — how to run a hobby farm after unintentionally buying 19 acres.
It all started with sourdough.
And yes, for the sourdough people reading this, my starter’s name is Hedwig.
From there somehow came chickens, irrigation systems, projects we probably underestimated, and a whole lot of trial by fire.
Our home is busy, loud, imperfect, and full of life.
My oldest is a Freshman in high school, stands somewhere around 6’2”, and fully plans on making it to the NBA. My youngest is still in elementary school, proudly standing at “4 feet and some change,” and spends most of her time crafting, creating art, and imagining something new.
And my husband? He’s the calm in all of it.
He’s the kind of man where if I came home and said, “I think we should raise chickens,” or “I accidentally bought another project,” he’d just sigh, give me a laugh and an eye-roll, and ask where we’re putting it.
You know those posts that say:
“If I brought home a crocodile, my husband would just ask where the enclosure is going”?
That’s him.
He has this steady way of supporting every dream, every mission, and every slightly chaotic idea I bring to the table without ever making me feel like I’m “too much.” As fiercely independent as I am, he’s shown me a kind of love and partnership I honestly didn’t know was possible. And when life became harder — when my health started changing and the future started looking different than I imagined — he never made me feel like a burden. He simply adjusted with me.
That kind of support changes a person.
In the summers, we spend time boating. In the winters, my family snowboards while I usually cheer them on these days with a cup of coffee nearby.
Life looks a little different than I once imagined it would.
But honestly, maybe that’s part of why this work matters so much to me.
Because I understand both sides now.
The healthcare system.
The caregiving side.
The operational side.
And the deeply personal side of realizing your family may one day need to navigate difficult decisions for you.
The families I work with trust me with some of the most vulnerable parts of their lives.
I never take that lightly.
And if you’re here, I hope Family Protection Project becomes a place that makes your journey feel a little less overwhelming — and a lot less lonely.
This is personal. It always has been.
