About

I have a PhD in Political Science with an emphasis on Public Administration/Nonprofit Management and International Relations. I have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communication. I’m a former member of the Utah House of Representatives.
I love people and love to learn from other people, cultures and traditions. I love humanitarian work, policy-making and peacebuilding. I also love to teach, speak, train and workshop solutions. 
I love to write and am the editor of a newsletter that goes out every weekday morning: Utah Policy. I also write for the Deseret News and occasionally for the Church News.
