My work as a mediator is geared towards encouraging the navigation of transitions from current circumstances to more ideal ones. This work allows me to tap into much of what

I have learned from my own as well as others’ life experiences.

 

I was born and raised in New York and lived in South Florida for over thirty years. Today,

my home is Gainesville, Florida. (Go Gators!) During my career I have worked in small
