Background
As a mediator, I strive to facilitate an open and supportive atmosphere for genuine listening and communication opportunities for individuals or groups in conflict. In mediation sessions, I focus on helping parties to uncover underlying interests and needs, explore possible solutions, and create their own dynamic and lasting pathway forward. I have a varied professional background with common threads of education, collaboration, and diversity.
