As a Restorative Practices Facilitator and Trainer with the International Institute of Restorative Practices (IIRP) since 2015, I bring extensive experience in Restorative Practices and Restorative Conferencing. Over the years, I have dedicated countless hours to training and facilitating conversations focused on building community, repairing harm, and restoring relationships. My work has had a meaningful impact within the State College Area School District, Penn State University, and the broader Central Pennsylvania community.

I offer tailored training sessions designed to meet the specific needs and challenges of your workplace or community setting. Whether you’re looking for in-person or virtual training options, I can provide flexible, accessible learning experiences that align with your goals.
