Speaker Bio
Ms. Laura Musselman transitioned from her career as a college philosophy instructor to end-of-life care following the deaths of both of her parents. She trained with the International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA) and began volunteering with Hinds Hospice in Fresno, California, in 2018, serving as a patient care, home hospice, and vigil volunteer. Ms. Musselman soon began training other volunteers to sit vigil, which led to her work with Comfort Care volunteers at the Central California Women's Facility. A former ethics instructor, she believes that compassionate end-of-life care is a human right and that dignity in dying should be accessible to all. Ms. Musselman currently serves as the Director of Development and Communications for the Humane Prison Hospice Project. She is also a trauma-support specialist, writer, and mother to three dogs and one human child. Her work explores the intersections of privilege, community care, and access to a "good death."
