Testimonials
-
Katherine and I studied together at Cornell's Insitute of Labor Relations, where Katherine earned her certification in professional mediation. Immediately, I was struck by both the depth of Katherine's experience and her excellent temperment, sound judgment and negotiation skills. She was one of the very top performers in our program, and would make an excellent mediator or advisor to a party in an employment dispute where alternative dispute resolution is an option. I cannot recommend Katherine highly enough!

I had the pleasure of taking mediation training at Cornell University with Katherine and was immediately impressed by her ability to create an engaging, collaborative environment. She is outgoing, actively listens, and asks thoughtful questions that help parties explore different avenues toward resolution. Katherine executes producing high quality work.
