Ang is a former high-school guidance counselor and experienced higher-education professional, who brings together psychological research, educational experience, and practical wellbeing approaches to her work. Ang completed her Master’s degree in Research Psychology, with her research focusing on male suicidal behaviour, giving her a strong foundation in understanding human behaviour, psychological processes and the complex factors that influence how people think, respond and function.

Her research experience also extends into large-scale community-based health research. She worked on a PEPFAR-funded TB and HIV prevention research program across seven townships in the Western Cape of South Africa, where the research contributed to improved medication uptake and adherence and to efforts that helped reduce the spread of drug-resistant TB, as well as contributing to a significant reduction in mother-to-child transmission.

Alongside her academic and research background, Ang is a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor and incorporates mindfulness-based techniques and mind-body practices into her work, bringing a holistic perspective to wellbeing, learning and human development.

Having worked across psychology, research, schools, higher education and wellness, Ang brings a particular passion for connecting what we know about the mind and brain with what happens in real-world learning environments.
