I am a politically engaged pacifist, committed to pursuing social justice and equity, and improving international

and interpersonal relations, through community-building, political analysis, and education.

Research, advocacy, teaching and program/service design and facilitation are some of the methods through which I pursue non-violence and positive peace.

I co-founded Peace International Political Party (PIPP) in August, 2020, which engages individuals,

and links in organizations, to actualize fulfillment of international laws and the achievement of human rights on the individual, local, and international levels. The organization's principles include turning to diplomacy, supporting demilitarization and nuclear abolition, and inviting other to engage in peacebuilding.

I was previously a Research Fellow for Family Homelessness/Displacement and Trauma

with UNANIMA International, an NGO with consultative status at the United Nations; I also represented the organization within the United Nations system (advocating for the international community's awareness and prioritization of these issues), and participated in several civil society working groups, including the

NGO Working Group to End Homelessness. I now am a consultant for the NGO.

​

I am an Adjunct Professor of Comparative Politics at St. John's University in Queens, New York and a

Peace Educator through the Maryland-based nonprofit Little Friends for Peace.

​

I consult nonprofit organizations and social enterprises to help them maximize their impacts, identify

and achieve their goals, and improve their administrative processes.
