For this week’s Featured Peacebuilding Group, I’d like to share about Globalize DC. This group focuses on advancing global education in the DC area, with a specific emphasis on DC youth. It was founded by my colleague Sally Schwartz. Globalize DC started life as the DC Center for Global Education and Leadership, created by Sally during her tenure as Director of International Programs at DC Public Schools.

I am conflict resolution educator, peacebuilding trainer and career coach. My professional experience has spanned the legal, think tank, international, quasi-government, and higher and secondary education sectors. I have taught at all higher education levels: community college, 4-year undergraduate (private, public, religious), graduate, and international. In 2003-2004 I was a U.S. Fulbright Scholar teaching at the University of Tartu in Estonia. From 2005 -2012 I was a senior program officer and senior manager at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington where I managed programs for colleges and universities and developed training for faculty and students. I work with all groups and educational institutions to support peacebuilding awareness.
