Currently, I am also an adjunct professor at Wilmington University, teaching courses in conflict resolution and mediation.

I also have experience with Alternatives to Violence (AVP), Restorative Practices, mediation with couples & families, and issues facing the LBGTQ community. I have facilitated workshops on grief and bereavement, informed consent and working with families of children with disabilities. I am passionate about helping people imagine and fulfill their best self, assisting people in learning coping skills. Being raised in Brooklyn, NY, I am always on a quest for the quintessential slice of pizza.
