SWAG视频 Me
I am an attorney in Sioux Falls, SD, with a passion for bioethics, especially end-of-life issues, Catholic teaching, and law. I am also a mom of four children ages 12-19. I enjoy collaborating with students and colleagues in several areas: an Institutional Review Board (IRB) overseeing human research trials; a Catholic hospital ethics committee, a group of healthcare collaborators dedicated to end-of-life care; and as an adjunct and a clinical assistant professor at our state law and medical schools. I love UMary because I can bring this expertise to bear through a Catholic lens.
Why I鈥檓 At MaryMary has a program in bioethics that works closely with the National Catholic Bioethics Center, an excellent resource center for individuals and healthcare providers. I am so proud to be a part of this excellent work training professionals to be confident and competent in their understanding of Catholic teaching as they work on the front lines of healthcare.
Expertise
My legal expertise lies in estate planning, healthcare powers of attorney and living wills, guardianship, business planning, and charitable giving. I also have expertise in Catholic teaching on bioethical issues, such as whether a Catholic in good conscience can withhold or withdraw life-saving medical treatment, use a POLST form, donate organs, or require or refuse vaccines.
