Principal of Alderwick & Associates since 2001, Stacey consults with organizations on issues of equity, diversity and inclusion, applying an anti-racism / anti-oppression lens to her work in learning and development, program development, planning and visioning. As a mediator with 24 years of experience, Stacey facilitates dialogue, problem-solving and other group and interpersonal conflict resolution processes. Her style encourages collaboration, mutual respect and transformation. 

In her work as an Adult Educator, Stacey cultivates meaningful interactive and experiential learning environments as she educates on topics including anti-oppression / anti-racism, intercultural communication skills, leadership development, interpersonal mediation, restorative practice and facilitation skills. This work continues and has included 18 years in post-secondary institutions, including the University of Toronto and the University of Guelph. 

During her leisure time, you’ll find Stacey reading, walking with her dog, socializing with friends, or horseback riding in solitude.
