I serve as Director of Operations for Peace Partnership International, working nationally and globally to increase public awareness of and support for a culture of peace and structures in government for a culture of peace. I previously served as Special Projects Coordinator for The Peace Alliance and its Campaign for a U.S. Department of Peace. In my former academic and private sector technical career, I applied systems analysis and simulation modeling for international agricultural development and air transportation, including projects that took me to Nigeria, Korea, Austria, and Venezuela. Then, at the Foundation for Global Community, I designed and facilitated courses related to personal and cultural transformation and sustainability, developed a vocational training program in Afghanistan, and was project manager for the Foundation’s program at the 2004 Parliament of the World’s Religions in Barcelona. I taught high school French and mathematics with the Peace Corps in Nigeria and has volunteered at home with local nonprofits, city government, and political movements. I enjoys traveling in the world, walking in nature, and musing in prose and poetry, and hold a Ph.D. in systems science.
