Welcome!☻

Brief Self-Intro

Among my many facets, I'm an integrative wellness program coordinator, DEI advocate + multidisciplinary artist based in New Jersey. I've spent my lifetime bouncing around the planet, exploring myriad facets of my collective identities, and ascertaining my truest callings along the way.

Professionally, I hold dual positions at Rutgers University: coordinating university-wide holistic wellness programming through the new ScarletWell initiative for Rutgers-New Brunswick's 72,000+ students, faculty & staff as well as managing communications & DEI projects for the Graduate School of Applied & Professional Psychology (GSAPP)'s Center for Youth Social Emotional Wellness (CYSEW). 
Concurrently, I serve as a Steering Committee Member with Garden State Equality (GSE)'s Queer BIPOC Network, and volunteer my time as an ESL tutor and local food bank distributor.

I avidly support the intersectional tenants of social justice, decolonization, anti-racism, radical self-care, sustainability, collective liberation.  

I hold degrees in psychology (BA Honors, Georgetown University), sustainable tourism management (MSc, European Master in Tourism Management), and integrative health coaching (Certificate, Duke Integrative Medicine), with 10+ years experience in the fields of academic & nonprofit social science research, holistic wellness promotion, social/environmental justice advocacy.

Born in DC and raised there + in Greece, Tokyo & New York, I've had the privilege of working/studying in 8 countries and traveling to 50+ on 5 continents, inspiring a lifelong passion for internationalism and global development.

I'm a proud member of the Japanese, LGBTQIA2S+, neurodiverse, and Buddhist communities.

Thanks for e-meeting me! 😊
