Professor. Speaker. Coach. Author.
Inspirations for aspirations.
Welcome. I’m Davina—also known as Vina. I help people notice possibilities, loosen constraints, and pursue their own aspirations.
As a professor, speaker, coach, and author, I bring curiosity, connection, and a facilitative approach to development. I’m a professor at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, where my work connects health economics, leadership, and human values.
