Today, I dedicate most of my time and energy towards supporting and creating new models of conflict resolution and autonomous decision-making, disseminating the language and values of mediation to all sectors in Israeli society and advocating for various mediation models to be recognized as alternative dispute resolution recognized by the State.

In 1999-2001, while living in Palo Alto, I studied community mediation. Upon my return to Israel, I had the opportunity to establish one of Israel’s first community mediation and dialogue centers, Mosaica in Jerusalem. As early as 2004, Mosaica was already leading national mediation and conflict resolution programs. These activities have continued to expand year after year. In 2015, I was appointed to CEO of Mosaica. I immigrated to Israel from Australia in 1985, live in Jerusalem with my family.
I believe that change begins on a small, individual scale.
