Thymai Dong-Sheehan, PhD, has twenty-five years of public education experience ranging from French and Spanish secondary teacher to administrator and executive level positions. Once she realized that adult learning was just as important as teaching students, she pursued a doctorate in Adult, Professional, and Community Education. Having left her most recent position as chief equity officer in a suburban school district, Thymai founded Innervate2Educate Consulting LLC, which delivers profound learning experiences rooted in the principles of andragogy that invite participants to individually look inward so that we can collectively transform outward. With consulting and speaking experience spanning local, regional, national, and international scales, she is passionate about working with organizations within education and beyond so that we all benefit from a reinvigorated humanity in all the spaces we navigate. Thymai lives in the northwest of Austin, Texas, with her husband and their dog, Rocky Balboa Sheehan. She loves hugs, Zumba, impromptu picnics and al fresco dining, a spicy chai latte, and enjoys smiling.
