The PROGRESS Consortium, USAID, Freedom House and Search for Common Ground are sponsoring an event on Thursday, March 30 at Freedom House in Washington, DC looking at the role of human rights in the struggle against violent extremist violence. On the panel is my good friend and colleague Linda Bishai, formerly at USIP and now at the American Bar Association.
I am a career coach, consultant, and head of a not for profit - the Forage Center - that offers humanitarian education training. I also teach at George Mason University and Drexel University. A one time lawyer, I spent many years teaching in a community college where I was a Fulbright U.S. Scholar teaching in Estonia. I'm the author of Peace Jobs: A Student's Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace (IAP 2016). I've been married to my best friend for over 31 years and we have two well adjusted adult children who teach me something new everyday. I live in Rockville, Maryland.
