Welcome!

Brief Self-Intro

Among my many facets, I'm an applied social science researcher, integrative health coach, DEI advocate + multidisciplinary artist based in New Jersey. I've spent my lifetime bouncing around the planet, exploring the myriad facets of my collective identities, and finding my true callings along the way.

Professionally, I hold dual concurrent roles @ Rutgers University. My primary work is with the Center for Youth Social Emotional Wellness
as Research & Communications Coordinator,
managing the Center's research endeavors, ADHD support service programs, and communications work. Concurrently, I serve as Program Coordinator for the new Rutgers ScarletWell initiative, supporting holistic well-being initiatives for the university's 60,000+ students, faculty & staff.

I avidly support the intersectional tenants of social justice, decolonization, anti-racism, radical self-care, sustainability, and 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 applied social science research, ecotourism development, 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! 😊
