Description of Business, Organization, Invention
Luna's Light is an earth-friendly company that creates Sympathy Gifts for Healing on the Journey of Grief. My sister Kelly and I designed the Universal Grieving Symbol Pin as a symbol of hope and inspiration for anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one. We founded Luna's Light after our youngest sister Shannon died in 2003 after a tonsillectomy. A portion of our profits are donated each year in memory of our sister to organizations working hard to improve patient safety and health care quality.
Evergreen helped prepare me for my professional life in the following way
I believe Luna's Light is a wonderful synthesis of Evergreen's philosophy and interdisciplinary learning model. I have used the education I received at Evergreen to transform my personal loss and grief into products that will help others who are experiencing grief. I proudly list my education at Evergreen on my company's website!
