Unique professional tapestry. Beginning with international conflict analysis work for the Aspen Institute, then followed by a decade in the fashion and television industries, I navigated high-pressure environments requiring both creative vision and practical negotiation skills.

I spent three years abroad as a trailing spouse, gaining firsthand experience with the complex dynamics of international relocations and the unique pressures they place on relationships. I decided to seek an amicable divorce from a foreign service officer due to career challenges, giving me personal insight into the unique circumstances faced by couples in non-traditional or international situations.

While navigating my divorce, I worked at DAI, advocating for bringing underserved individuals into software development and honing my ability to identify barriers and create pathways for equitable participation and outcomes. I then served as a teacher in the DC public school system, where I cultivated patience, empathy, and effective communication with diverse families during critical developmental periods post-covid.

This distinctive blend of experiences enables me to effectively facilitate couples through complex divorce negotiations. My diverse background helps me empathize with and validate the challenges divorcing people face, creating a neutral space where they can work toward balanced, holistic resolutions that nurture their family's emotional wellbeing while establishing sustainable financial foundations. I approach each case with the creativity, empathy, and thoughtfulness that my varied career path has instilled in me.
