I am passionate about education but not in the form it is being administered now

Education counseling because I really want to change people's lives by supporting the idea of "Humanity Beyond Labels." 1. I see education counselling as a way to help people develop their own skills and goals, focusing on the person's inherent worth that goes beyond labels. 2. Education Counseling can help create a society where everyone, from any background, is seen and appreciated for what they bring to it. 3. It help create a society which believes in providing a supportive space where different backgrounds are respected and every human feels seen and valued. 4. It allows schools to incorporate the ideas of "Humanity Beyond Labels" into their school curriculum because we know how important education is in changing people's minds. 5. It can help parents and teachers teaching students to value different points of view and to respect people for their character, compassion, and shared human experience. 6. It can help schools to become a place where students can question what they think and grow a culture of acceptance and understanding. 7. It can help schools to encourage students to be proud of what makes them different, question what society thinks of them, and work towards making society more caring and welcoming. I believe education counselling is a change-making force. Through this we can see a paradigm shift that values acceptance, sensitivity, and celebrating our common humanity, both in and out of the classroom. As we all know education as a powerful way to change society, and can be used to shape a generation that can rise above labels, bring people together, and help make the world a better place for everyone.

I am passionate about technology and the transformation it enables for individuals, communities and the world.

mangoes. And anything else that crosses my mind. I'm an easily excitable person, and I commit myself to things that make me happy (like music, theatre, research, cooking, painting, writing, eating, watching TED Talks...). Oftentimes, that leads me to have little time on my hands, because I fill it up with things I love the most!

Life. Love. Music. Art. My children. Wine. Food. Creating Jobs. Good Ideas. Words. Environmental stewardship. Friends. Now.

Cancer research, awareness, and activism. Tiny houses with a tiny footprint. Backyard garden cultivation. Eating exciting food that is good for both the body and soul. Showing up for others.

Photography, design, music and amplifying the voices of global youth who are changing the world. Passionate about making it count.

People, life, this gorgeous planet and JOY!!! (Oh yeah, and exclamation marks)!
