Education

I have an MA in Political Science from the George Washington University and a BA in International Relations from Hamilton College. I studied sociology, anthropology and political science in Germany, at Mainz University and was deeply influenced by my years as a student at the United World College of the Atlantic, which encourages holistic academic study based on a philosophy of social action and international understanding. I am an adjunct faculty member for the Gestalt International Study Center, Cape Cod and studied organization and systems development at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland.
