As founder of OYT in the NGO/501c3 sector, the journey has taken me on sociological research projects all over the world. I design and facilitate R&D projects in different countries to examine and assess social structures in areas that can benefit from new social strategies and programs. These proposals are formulated to offer aid, education, and to explore local resources to enable rehabilitation in multiple facets of sociological development.
Trauma Coach & Visiting Professor:
In conjunction with my research efforts, the majority of my engagement is in individual sessions and motivational speaking events as a Certified Trauma Coach.
Additionally, I receive invitations for intensives as a visiting professor at several universities around the world; concurrently with continued efforts in research & theoretical development, publishing a book, and producing a podcast that will be available in 2025.
Unique Approach:
Originally from the East Coast of the US, as an expat for over 11 years, I’ve spent time living in four different countries such as India, Thailand, and Japan. However a majority of my experience has been from living in Seoul, South Korea.
In addition to my education and training, my expat experiences allow me to offer a unique perspective on expat life as well as constructively assist individuals when adjusting in and out of the distinctive lifestyle.
Having licensure and certifications in both the US and South Korea, enables me to offer a textured and advanced global perspective on how to handle multifaceted cultural, social, and mental health concerns.
