I am a long-time political activist, initially getting my feet wet in the Seacoast NH as a high school student with the Clamshell Alliance. As an undergraduate at UNH, I worked to bring awareness to gender, race, and religious oppression, apartheid, and nuclear proliferation.

As a graduate student, I became interested in the history, theories, and methods of nonviolent action as exemplified in modern times by Gandhi and MLK, and written extensively by Gene Sharp from the Albert Einstein Institute.

My doctoral work at UNH involved researching, writing, and publishing about peace education. Since then, I have continued to write and publish in the area of nonviolent citizen action. I am both an educator on this subject and an activist.

My most recent work is in writing for a wider audience about the importance of nonviolent action in developing an empowered citizenry that holds government officials to account in meeting the needs of the people. My writing is now on social media, and I have just completed my first book, Reclaiming Power: Building a Stronger Resistance in the Age of Trump. My latest publication, Building Real People Power: Formulating Strategy, is the first in a series of Monographs on 8 Essential Steps to Building Real People Power. 

I am an educator, an activist, an entrepreneur, and a writer. I'm excited to take on this new venture of writing for the public via social media. And I'm thankful for this platform to share with all of you my ideas and expertise on nonviolent action.
