It's her personal experiences that have informed her life's work. At age 19, she watched her parents divorce, a traumatic and formative experience. "My parents saw me as a confidante," she remembers. "I was the peacekeeper and the negotiator. I acquired a very good idea, years before I became a mediator, of the complexities of divorce."
