In 2018\, she joined the PAIL Network staff as the South Eastern Regional Representative. Most recently\, she has taken on the role of Family Support Coordinator\, where she finds fulfillment in helping families navigate their loss. When she’s not assisting families\, she enjoys going on adventures with her husband and two living children. \nBrandon Drouilliard \nBrandon was first introduced to the PAIL Network in February 2019 shortly after his daughter Hannah’s neonatal death. After participating in peer support groups\, Brandon began volunteering as a family panelist sharing his lived experience as the non-birthing parent. \n\nIn the Fall of 2021\, Brandon then transitioned into his new role as a PAIL Educator\, where he has had the privilege of traveling the province facilitating Compassionate Care Workshops. In 2024\, Brandon began supporting the Education Team in the coordination and planning of educational workshops as PAIL Network’s Education Coordinator. \n\nBrandon lives in the Peterborough area with his wife Sarah\, their daughter Olivia\, and their Morkie\, Stella.
