I’ve been working in the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution for over 20 years.  Within the Provincial Child Welfare system, I was a Practice Consultant designing and facilitating Collaborative Decision Making Meetings. My passion for training and conflict management led me to design and facilitate workshops for business and sports to address individual and group conflict. My specializations include conflict management, facilitation, consultation and course instruction. I have extensive experience working with diverse cultural groups including Indigenous communities.

I am a regular instructor with the Justice Institute of British Columbia where I train social workers in foundational skills such as conflict management and forensic interviewing. I am an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia in the School of Social Work.

I believe that involvement in organized sport can have a significant impact in the lives of children and adults. I am the Safe Guarding Liaison at viaSport BC supporting the implementation of the BC Universal Code of Conduct. I am honoured to be a named Expert with the US Anti-Doping Agency’s True Sport Program where I provide speaking engagements, interviews, resource development, articles and video resources to support National level Coach and Athlete development in the United States. My work has been featured by USA Basketball, USA Water Polo, USA Swimming, USA Figure Skating and USA Lacrosse.
