For this week’s Featured Peacebuilding Group, I’d like to share about Valencia College’s Peace and Justice Institute. Few higher academic institutions in the U.S. have done as much to advance peacebuilding work. I’ve been honored over the years to work with the institute, which is an integral part of the Orlando, FL community.
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.
