Eileen Murphy

Eileen Murphy

I'm a certified Health & Wellness Life Coach through NBHWC and A Wellness Revolution, holding a Bachelor’s in Psychology and an IO Psychology Master's. My journey, from a high school swim instructor to a 15+ year HR career, involves helping people overcome challenges. Retired from HR, I now serve those eager to unlock their potential. As a wellbeing coach, I guide individuals to embrace strengths and infuse self-transformation into every aspect of life. On a personal note, I find joy in staying active, trying new recipes, traveling (which led me to live in Denmark), and cherishing time with loved ones. Watch out for pop culture references that I sprinkle in for fun, as I believe we learn best through tangible experiences.

Ragnhild "Bridget" Sageng

Ragnhild “Bridget” Sageng has several years of experience in the IT (Information Technology) industry, working with IT support, network, and managing IT projects before transcending into a career within pen-testing and further into cyber security culture. She considers her IT experience as a strength that aids her in seeing correlations between systems and the people using them. Before her IT career, “Bridget” educated herself within the field of human psychology and healthcare due to her interest in understanding the human mind.

Due to her interest in both the human mind and IT security, "Bridget” specializes in social engineering and Open-source investigation (OSINT). In 2020, she won an international social engineering CTF hosted by Temple University. In 2021, "Bridget” became a Certified Social Engineering Pentest Professional (SEPP) and has since dedicated her focus towards social engineering pen-testing. Her hands-on experience with social engineering pen-testing has prompted her to further research the topics of ethically handling people affected by the tests. She has spoken about this topic at conferences such as Black Hat Europe, SANS, DTX Europe, NDC security and at the Social Engineering community village at DEF CON, hoping to enlighten people and create a discussion on the topic within the industry.

Sonia Williams-Lewis

Sonia Williams-Lewis

For over three decades, Sonia Williams-Lewis has been on a mission of re-imagining equity and humanity, intending to reclaim all of the things lost and denied to the Black community by way of laws, policies, and cultural norms that intentionally and unintentionally perpetuate white supremacy, racism, and implicit biases. Her professional career has prompted efforts to address the issue of racialized norms, as a matter of curating a safe and brave space to have courageous conversations about race and belonging whilst normalizing an anti-racist, humanity-driven future. As the Founder/CEO of ASCRIBE Educational Consulting, LLC and EDIFIY Humanity 501c3, our work is rooted in challenging the norm and fostering a growth mindset where everyone matters and wins.

Sonia Williams-Lewis is a former high school/secondary educator, with degrees in History and Psychology from Spelman College, as well as a Master's Degree in Education and Secondary Teaching credential from San Francisco State University. Building the legacy of ASCRIBE and EDIFY prioritizes the marrying of equity and social justice, with an emphasis on how socio-economic factors impact family dynamics, community stratification, and the marginalized outcomes of vulnerable groups. If we focus on the margins of the margins, the result is our whole society reaping benefits that really matter. It's the development of our whole selves coupled with the development of our whole community that fosters a willingness to address all of our needs and not the deficit of what we can't accomplish together. It was after giving birth to 6 beautiful Black boys, that Sonia realized her lived experiences offer a unique perspective on tackling the problems associated with equity, belonging, and humanity, like but not limited to denied medical resources, lack of access to educational resources, unwarranted touches with the criminal justice system based on racialized norms and policies, and inner-communal violence. Said lived experiences, also known as "adverse childhood experiences" (ACEs) have not only led to a reliance on the resource-richness and resolve of the Black community but also how the Black community contributes to the whole of who we are as a society. Let's imagine together, a future where the next generation won't need to deal with or heal from racialized trauma....PERIOD.

Carol Tinga

Carol Tinga

Carol is a PhD candidate in the Department of Population Medicine at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) at the University of Guelph, Canada. Her research focuses on the owner-companion rabbit relationship, and companion rabbit care and welfare. Specifically, she is exploring the validity and reliability of established human-animal relationship scales for use with companion rabbit owners, rabbit owners’ favourite rabbit behaviours and why they are so, ownership challenges, risk factors for thoughts of giving rabbits away or letting them loose outside, and rabbit intakes and management practices at Canadian and American shelters and rabbit rescues. Vespa, an extraordinary, lop-eared rabbit inspired her research.

Prior to the PhD program, Carol completed a Masters in Population Medicine at the OVC where her research focused on veterinary technical and professional skills in student veterinarians and recent graduates. She currently shares her home with a bonded pair of free-range, up-eared rabbits, Ellie and Coco. The duo, affectionately known as “the hooligans,” came to her from a foster family who took them in after they had been turned loose outside by their previous owners.

Mat Robinson

Mat Robinson

Born in England in 1972, Mat moved to the U.S. in 1998 as a well paid software engineer. A series of unfortunate tech bubble bursts found him soul searching and pursuing a career in photography. The rise of Facebook and smartphones saw his business and bank accounts crumble to the point where his soul came searching for him and he experienced an ego-death. This experience gave him a unique perspective on the mind. He saw the stories when he felt superior to others and saw how his mind criticized and judged. He got to see his mind become incredibly defensive and justify his actions when things were going badly. With a silent mind, he got to see how nothing changes about the physical world. And when his mind did start talking again, he could clearly see the very primitive mechanisms that caused it to react to the world and create drama. Since then, Mat has been teaching people mindfulness, meditation, and the most important and most powerful - how to practice unconditional love.
