Founder of Adding Light, Inc.- a not for profit organization with the mission to healing for those in grief, for those suffering from mental health challenges, homelessness and/or poverty and aims to protect the interests of those, including companion animals, who have been abused, neglected or are in need of support for their basic needs of life. In essence, Adding Light, Inc. strives to add light back into an otherwise dark world.

Tina has a special interest in ethics and has done extensive research into the reliability of moral claims. Her Master’s Thesis “Can Moral Claims be Tested the Way Scientific Claims Can be Tested?” sought to illustrate the foundational ties between the ways we approach a reliance upon scientific certainty and the way we test the existence of moral properties such as “good” and “right.” She sees her ethical studies as foundation for her study of law and recognizes that the ‘black letter law’ is only one necessary consideration in a full and productive appreciation of a client’s needs and obligations. Tina has two dogs and an ever-changing number of cats. She is able to talk about normal-people things in addition to her very fancy philosophy talk. When in doubt, ask her about Harry Potter.
