Gayle’s journey in the field of social work is a blend of professional dedication and personal experience. Before her focus on hospice care, she spent over a decade working with special needs children, which helped her cultivate a profound understanding of human resilience and the critical importance of supportive caregiving. Her personal experience caring for her late mother-in-law, who suffered from dementia, further fueled her passion for enhancing support systems for families dealing with serious illness.
Holding a Master of Social Work with an emphasis in Clinical/Medical Social Work and Gerontology from California State University, Fullerton, Gayle also possesses multiple certifications in crisis prevention, intimate partner violence, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and CPR/First Aid. She is dedicated to providing emotional support and guidance, especially in the sensitive environments of hospice and palliative care. “As a medical social worker, I find the greatest fulfillment in supporting patients and their families through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives,” Gayle shares. “Helping families navigate grief, loss, and complex decisions with compassion and clarity is truly the heart of my work.”
In addition to her direct patient care, Gayle plays an active role in community education and advocacy. She conducts large-scale hospice and end-of-life education sessions, engaging hospital teams and community groups of up to 250 attendees annually.
