​“I have always had a passion to perform meaningful work, however small it may be, which led me into the nonprofit sector. After losing my mother as a young adult, I was motivated to direct my education to support services. Years later, finding Friends of Aine was a blessing. It is an absolute privilege to work alongside our staff, volunteers, and support our families through their grief journey.”
