Background
In 2019, completed 40-hour mediation training. Extensive experience with communication coaching, particularly in the agricultural community. My doctoral degree is in educational psychology, and I have worked for for the University of Maine Cooperative Extension in the area of Human Development since 2007. I have additional experience with alternative education, public education advocacy, resilience building, and mindfulness practices. I am interested in working in multiple settings to apply the techniques of transformative mediation and am currently in a training period, seeking mentorship from experienced mediators who are willing to co-mediate. I have experience with personal communication coaching with Extension's Farm Communication program, as well as on the roster for the Maine Agricultural Mediation Program as a volunteer mediator. In 2026, I received additional training in Motivational Interviewing and the Inner Game methodology.
