-Thich Nhat Hanh
My great passion is understanding the dynamic experiences of the human mind. I’m currently completing an M.S. in Sexology and a PhD in Psychology, honing my leadership skills as a teaching assistant for the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute practitioner’s course in Belgium, evolving my movement theater therapy group classes, and writing a semi-autobiographical novel about intergenerational trauma,
grit and resilience in the context of immigration and intercultural experiences in different parts of the globe.
