Welcome !

Whether you are here for career coaching, conflict coaching, facilitation support, or to explore conflict resolution and peacebuilding work, I’m glad you have arrived!

I’m based in the Washington, DC area. My career has spanned college and university teaching, practicing law, teaching in the Fulbright program, working at a Washington, DC think tank, and career coaching and consulting. My goal as a career coach is to leverage my own experiences, networks, and learning to assist career transitioners, particularly those seeking to make social change.

I’ve been interviewed on The Today Show, featured in the Washington Post Magazine, and given a TEDx talk. I’m an official member of Forbes Coaches Council where I write on career related topics.

I’ve published three books, Peace Jobs: A Student’s Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace (IAP 2016), Peacebuilding in Community Colleges: A Teaching Resource (USIP Press 2013), and Legal Research and Writing (Delmar 1996).

I teach at the Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University and the School of International Service at American University.

I’m also the president and co-founder of the Forage Center for Peacebuilding and Humanitarian Education, Inc. The Forage Center focuses on offering experiential-based training in humanitarian practices.

I look forward to working with you. To schedule an appointment, reach out to me here. You can learn more about my work and background here.
