So, you want to know more about me…

The feeling is mutual, but I’ll go first.

I began my advocacy journey with the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom (WILPF). Through WILPF I discovered a whole world of advocacy: economic justice, environmental protection, global peace… (the easy stuff). I went to meetings, planned actions, and attended demonstrations. With encouragement from Libby Frank (the former Executive Director of WILPF US), I became the Membership Coordinator and eventually President of the WILPF Philadelphia branch. And then… I left. I was devoting so much of myself to this work, but the world didn’t seem to be getting any better.

I went back to school and completed my Masters in Adult and Organizational Development. I loved systems theory and had opportunities in my professional journey to apply what I learned. But I never truly gave up on creating positive change.

I needed to understand what kept Libby going, even when it seemed impossible to win, and… whether her lifelong dedication to peace and justice had made a difference. We co-wrote her memoir, Life of Libby: Chasing Peace & Justice with Humor, Guts, & Passion. At the end of this project, I finally understood why Libby’s work mattered and how change happens.

Now, I offer workshops and consulting to help advocacy organizations advance their missions.
