Brief Biography
I currently work for Fairfax County - Domestic and Sexual Violence Services as the prevention and education coordinator. I lead primary prevention efforts, including engaging men and boys. I previously was working with CARE International (Canadian, German and now USA branch) for the past 22 years, of which 20 years were spent working in the Balkans. I was involved in the development of our gender equality and EMB programming in that region and participated in the development of MenEngage Europe and CARE's joining of the board of the MenEngage Alliance. I came back to the USA during the last 2 years, first leading our Gender Equity and Diversity work at the organizational level and then in the past year moved into a new team focused on safeguarding and the prevention of sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse across CARE USA domestically and in our 36 country offices. I have been involved in the development and promotion of EMB work as part of CARE's broader gender equality and women's empowerment strategies.
