As Restorative Schools Manager, Beth spearheads WJC’s partnership with Hacienda La Puente USD. Through this partnership, she seeks to equip youth and the adults who serve them with restorative practices and conflict resolution tools to become conflict resilient communities. Before joining WJC, Beth worked at the National Conflict Resolution Center as a Restorative Justice Practices School specialist, a highlight of her work included facilitating a series titled “Courageous community conversations” during the 2024 Election cycle to foster communication across differences within the school communities she served.

Beth also worked as a group facilitator for a surf therapy program in Australia, and has been an educator for 15 years in a wide variety of contexts and throughout multiple countries. Beth is dedicated to Restorative Justice practices because she believes equipping people with the tools to communicate with compassion and courage is an important key to building a more just world.
