I was not one to sit still, living all over the U.S. prior to planting roots in Vermont. I have been in the Restorative Justice field since 2009 and have had the opportunity to work with three Vermont Community Justice Centers. My experience in this work leads me to believe that 'accountability' is an action verb, not a noun; that we have a responsibility to each other, particularly to our young people; and that our collective imaginations are powerful, and it's okay to disrupt things in order to get there. I unwind by river swimming, CxC skiing, frying food, fixing things up, and spending time with my partner, two children and one dog.
