Encouraging conversations about death

Former SNL producer ponders the big questions

The Ithaca College Gerontology Institute is sponsoring two talks on Wednesday March 30 by author, blogger, podcaster and nationally-known end-of-life speaker Kimberly C. Paul. She is a lifelong storyteller. From writing a blog and a podcast, to producing television and radio commercials, to working on the sets of Saturday Night Live and CBS daytime television, she has a passion for engaging audiences.

After nearly 20 years working in hospice, becoming a speaker about end of life, death, and dying, was a natural transition for Paul. In 2015, she wowed audiences with her Tedx Talk, “Who’s That?” and challenged people to stop ignoring the elephant in the room. She has presented at national, state, regional, and community symposiums about hospice and end-of-life planning.
