She is currently living her dream as President of the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding, in honor of her son. Her tireless efforts to launch and drive this work has lead to success in forming partnerships with the Department of Juvenile Justice, Florida’s State Attorney’s Office, Law Enforcement,  the University of Florida and countless partners in peacebuilding.  Her passion and commitment to nonviolence has been the center point of her life.
