In her words: “I enjoy spending a better part of my working
days with the dead and I can’t imagine staying away from them even for a single working day. You know, I have to go and look at the bodies stored in freezers daily. I discontinued my studies in nursing and pursued mortuary science because of available job opportunities in the latter field. I don’t regret changing professions, not one bit.
