Since 2019, she has been a panel mediator with Family Mediation Northern Ireland (FMNI) in Belfast, offering her services in family, cross-cultural and high-emotion contexts with warmth and professionalism.
Her approach to mediation is grounded in neutrality, confidentiality, and a deep belief that conflict can be a catalyst for growth and strengthened relationships when managed with the right guidance.

She is a signatory of the Mediators’ Green Pledge (www.womac.org), affirming her commitment to sustainability and responsible practice.
