In her role as respite employer engagement coordinator, Falk partners with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Respite Program to increase awareness of the needs of family caregivers and help employers connect workers to respite resources. She also mentors students in her home through Project DOCC (Delivery of Chronic Care) and the Respite Service Learning Certificate Program.
