Education
We are here to support you and your community with ongoing professional and personal development opportunities.
Lifelong learning includes continually improving social-emotional wellness through intentional self-care, practicing inclusive leadership, and building global awareness to lead with empathy, resilience, inclusion, and intercultural skills.
Social-Emotional Learning
Social-emotional and mental health support for women educators and community leaders in trauma-affected educational contexts
Research indicates that women constitute the majority of the global education workforce and are disproportionately exposed to vicarious trauma, emotional labor, and caregiving responsibilities, particularly in contexts marked by conflict, displacement, poverty, or systemic inequality; yet their experiences remain underexplored.
Social-emotional learning (SEL), based on emotional intelligence, has been framed as a cornerstone of holistic, inclusive, and sustainable education, emphasizing competencies such as emotional regulation, empathy, relationship-building, ethical decision-making, and social responsibility. These competencies are especially critical for female educators and leaders who often act as frontline responders to students’ emotional distress while simultaneously managing institutional demands and gendered expectations.
Self-Care and Healing
Mindful Yoga
Our body holds and reflects all our experiences, even beyond our awareness. Through mindful yoga movements, our mind can rest and our heart can be open. We finally connect with our inner wisdom. The workshops gently guide you to be aware of your mind-body-heart connection that ultimately supports your life purpose and vision.
Theater of Healing
We are facilitators and professionals passionate about sharing our healing journeys and looking to collaborate and empower with others through the transformative art of embodied practices and theatrical techniques.
Join us in this exploration of how theater and other embodied practices can be a catalyst for individual and societal changes!
Love Study & Art
LOVE STUDY is a collection of work we created over the past years. The paintings and graphics are the results of our desire to understand ourselves and our relationship. We’re discovering this is a never-ending process. We’re excited to show these intimate pieces and share what inspires us to bring this work into the world. Please join us at the LOVE STUDY reception to enjoy a lovely evening of art and wine inspired by love

I am a lifelong learner.
Dynamic international experiences from the United States, the Netherlands, South Korea, Vietnam, Bangladesh, France, Egypt, South Africa, and Guatemala. My passion lies in global education and the stories of transnational identities, including global nomads, third culture kids (TCKs), and cross-cultural individuals. I am also an advocate for mental health, the well-being of AANHPI, women, girls, youth, and LGBTQI+ rights.
Over the past decade, I have taught counseling and mental health to master's level students at four different universities. I've been involved in many community-engaged projects supporting local mental health providers, educators, and community organizations around the world.
During my sabbatical, I have been collaborating with scholars and researchers at Tilburg University in the Netherlands as a guest researcher and working in Vietnam as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar to train educators and community leaders on emotional intelligence, social-emotional wellness, and mental health resources.
