Clair has a legal background, but early in her career discovered she wanted to empower and support people to resolve their own matters through alternative dispute resolution. She has now been working and studying in the dispute resolution space for ten years in a range of areas, including native title, family, neighbourhood, child protection and commercial disputes. Since 2018 Clair has been working as a Restorative Justice practitioner, mediating between adult offenders and victims of crime. She finds assisting people to have difficult but powerful conversations that restore relationships and repair harm incredibly rewarding. In 2020 she received a Masters of Dispute Resolution from the University of Technology Sydney.
Clair looks forward to assisting the participants in ASEP Conferences to have respectful, transformative and restorative conversations about school attendance.
