She was selected to do a coveted federal clerkship for the Hon. Florence-Marie Cooper and worked with Fortune 500 companies at a prestigious law firm. At age 25, Ms. Klein, her father, and three siblings watched their 55-year-old mom die from breast cancer. They received no guidance around end-of-life care or what was to come after, never mind language to help each other heal. As a result, she changed careers. Ms. Klein was recruited by the Department of Supportive Care Medicine, City of Hope to oversee the Sheri & Les Biller Patient and Family Resource Center where she developed interdisciplinary programs focused on enhancing resiliency in cancer patients and their families. She led the Science of Caring Grand Rounds and assumed leadership in building the institution-wide advance care planning initiative. She currently leads bereavement support groups at Our House, one of the largest nonprofit grief centers in California.
