My story

Growing up as an adoptee from Vietnam, my perspective of life has always felt different than my peers. Since being a kid, I've wanted to create a societal change for those who didn't have their own voice to advocate. Showing up authentically has always been my life's mantra. I believe in finding ways to give back and empower others. After finishing my Masters at Georgetown University, I founded my first 501c3 nonprofit. Immediately after completing my PhD, I started to publish articles to further gender-diversity and my proposed theoretical framework that holds leaders to a greater standard to improve society for us all: Social Strategy Leadership.

As a result, this consulting firm was created to provide others an opportunity to work with real change leaders to improve their organization and the world together.
