I’m the co-founder of Nature Bathing, a Hong Kong social enterprise using nature-based programs to uplift people’s well-being. Living in one of the world's most stressed cities, we provide nature-based wellness programs for citizens to de-stress, learn and connect deeply with nature. Science has shown that a 20-minute nature break can effectively reduce our stress hormones for 2-3 weeks. We help people experience nature's power in improving well-being, so as to inspire intrinsic motivation for environmental conservation. Since 2017, we have partnered with 70+ schools, 40+ non-profits and 20+ corporates to co-create impactful programs and community resources, serving more than 10,000 people.

I am an environmental educator with 10 years of experience in childhood development and elementary education. A former gym teacher, kindergarten science teacher, and instructional coach, Milan's broad array of experience helps inform her understanding of how to best serve our community.

I develop educational programming that brings environmental monitoring programs to local communities. Science education allows me to embrace a role that combines making environmental education accessible and connecting educaiton to relevant ecological research efforts. I have had many different roles as before becoming an environmental educator including being a collections assistant for a natural history museum and a field assistant to ornithology researchers.

As a former zookeeper at the San Diego Zoo, I have transformed my passion for conservation into a focus on field research and conservation education. My research encompasses conservation education, sustainable land use, and rainforest fragment ecology. With over ten years of experience in the zoo field and hands-on work in Borneo, Costa Rica, Belize, and Laos, I founded Green Dragon Conservation Education (GDCE) to bridge the gap between field researchers and conservation education, integrating mindfulness practices into curriculum development.

Additionally, I teach botany, general biology, and biodiversity courses at Cuyamaca Community College and CSU Dominguez Hills. I firmly believe in the power of multidisciplinary collaboration to create research and education programs that foster mindful, curious, and lifelong global stewards.
