I am the product of two cultures (Latin/European) and have lived and worked in different professions in The Netherlands, England, Greece and the Caribbean. Helping people find solutions when they are stuck as well as connecting different points of view has always been a part of my work and life. I started off studying Psychology but switched to Law after one year, because it gave me more options for practical problem solving. During my 25 years as a lawyer however, I realized you need to attend to emotions as well as facts in order to solve conflicts. My training and experience as a Mediator/Conflict Coach brings it all together.
