Unscaled, understanding, and original

I am a #conflicthugger, wearing different hats to meet differing needs.

For over 25 years, I have partnered to create impact through a variety of conflict management, people development, facilitation, change enablement, visual storytelling, restorative, and organizational development practices and workshops.

Together these approaches seek to build a community of support, make things discussable, draw out options for exploration, provide for agency, empower people, and steward our environment. The aim is to achieve constructive change, awareness, and alignment while realizing personal, team, community, and organizational goals.

I consult with clients locally and globally as well as co-lead When & How Studios, serve as an organizational ombuds team member in a variety of capacities, and am a coach at Bravely and independently. I am a Certified Organizational Ombudsman Practitioner® (CO-OP)® and hold a Graduate Certificate in Conflict Resolution from University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB).

In 2020, I was recognized with the Donald Paulson Service Award in Conflict Resolution by the UMB Faculty in the Department of Conflict Resolution, Human Security, and Global Governance. This award recognizes outstanding service into the field of conflict resolution, both within the program at UMB and to the wider conflict resolution field.

I am a 1 % for the Planet business member and was a panelist, advocate, and ally for the diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging program during my time at Fidelity Investments.
