I’m a lifelong learner who has amassed a wealth of experience working across a wide range of industries, including e-commerce, hospitality, manufacturing, and nonprofits. Using a creative lens, I enjoy working towards innovative solutions and believe that nurturing positive connections is essential for the success of individuals, communities, and organizations. In 2023, I attended a Restorative Justice Facilitation class with Ted Lewis, trainer at the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Center for Restorative Justice and Peacemaking. I am also a Restorative Mediator on the MN Rule 114 Qualified Neutral roster. My desire to work in these sectors is the result of personal experiences and wanting to improve the landscape for others. This work gives me hope that collectively we can work towards quelling the deep divides happening in our social structures and families, repair harm, and work towards a more equal balance of power in polarizing situations.
