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.

Connecting ideas, evidence, and human values. My teaching invites people to ask better questions and see familiar challenges from new perspectives.

Speaker

Coach

A thoughtful partner as you explore what matters, recognize patterns, and find your next step. My approach is facilitative and developmental: making space for your aspirations.

The Lambda Factor

My upcoming book explores how loosening constraints can open possibilities for ourselves and the people around us.
