Meet the Presenter (Instructions: Change to plural if more than one presenter)

Dr. Catherine Hajnal’s pathway to loss and grief is rooted in many years of chronic pain and a career that wasn’t working out as expected. Finding meaning, purpose and a new career in her own losses, she recognized that her research in Human Factors Engineering, socio-technical systems, job design, and organizational health and safety provided a solid foundation for companioning people through the pains and possibilities of their own life transitions. Dr. Hajnal now delivers workshops, papers and conferences on grief, loss and trauma in the context of career services.
