About the Associates

Ashley Moore joined MDR as an associate in May 2010.

Ashley holds a Bachelor of Arts degree, with distinction from Concordia University (2006) with a major in psychology.

With an educational background in psychology and cultural studies, Ashley is particularly interested in how social constructs shape individual realities, and in how to best serve people and goals within a system.  

Ashley is currently enrolled as a master’s student in Royal Roads University’s Conflict Analysis and Management Program. In this program she is continuing her education in identifying, analyzing, and developing management processes for intergroup conflict.

She has received negotiation and mediation training from the Canadian International Institute of Applied Negotiation (2004, 2005) and has used the resulting knowledge and skills in various conflict situations and contexts since that time.

Ashley has taken leadership roles in both the private and not-for-profit sectors developing and delivering programs that support the development of youth, including youth at risk and with special needs. Such programs include a community based crime prevention program with youth, police and community partnerships, a publically funded program to help develop capacity amongst teenage girls in a residential work camp setting, and peer outreach programs.

In addition to her ongoing research for various MDR projects, Ashley is working on a number of other opportunities including assistancing in a major community conflict over resource sharing and usage,  undertaking a dispute resolution knowledge project for a large Crown corporation, and assistancing in the development and delivery of negotiation training for front line youth social workers.

In addition to her academic achievements, Ashley has received level 3 Occupational First Aid certification and government sponsored Occupational Health and Safety training. She holds a French Bilingual Certificate from the Ottawa Public School board and works in both of Canada’s official languages. She has been granted security status to work with the Canadian federal public service.
