Adriana L. Scott (She/Her) is a Conflict Transformation Practitioner. She renders interventions for organizations and local communities through mediation, facilitation, coaching and short term discussions. 

As a middle child growing up in a traditional Jamaican household, Adriana instinctively embraced the role of mediator, not only between her siblings but also her parents. Having experienced various instances of trauma while coming into her own being, Adriana has worked intently to understand and address the effects of those situations, ultimately defining and refining her sense of self to be one filled with peace, empathy, and growth. Adriana gravitates toward people, connecting beyond the surface to create a safe space rooted in the heart of who one is, and how they desire to express themselves unapologetically.  

Adriana strives to be a beacon of hope in her community, and she endeavors to cultivate a culture where conflict is no longer seen as a hindrance to progress, but rather an opportunity for positive social change. She strives to empower people of color to embrace conflict, difference and  the healing of trauma as a means of sustaining interpersonal relationships.

Adriana holds a Master’s degree in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution from Columbia University’s School of Professional Studies. Adriana integrates mediation tools to bond human connections by searching for and deepening opportunities for intersectionality, specifically through the combination of meaningful dialogue, accountability and the compassionate recognition of each party’s individual values and interests.

In her spare time, Adriana is a proud bun mom to two adorable rabbits, Charlotte and Winter. She also advocates for youth in the foster care system, empowers friendships and connections through social events including pool tournaments, dancing, hiking events, and plays a role in organizing events that inspire healthy living.
