I am a visionary leader and a hard working diligent goal getter. With more than 20 years of academic experience I have the capacity to help in making a difference in diverse cultures and communities. As a missionary, I was involved in the management of spiritual care services in South Korea, a country that is among the top five in 2019 and in the previous year's suicide rates.
