A native of Seoul, South Korea, Heddy’s experiences as an immigrant to the United States helped shape her desire to work for social justice and cross-cultural understanding.  For the past ten years, she has been active in human rights, peacebuilding, and youth development in Africa, Asia, and the United States with organizations including Common Cents, Global Nomads Group, Amnesty International, Never Again International, and the Cambodian Center for Human Rights.  Heddy first joined One World in 2008 as the Group Leader of the Cambodia program.  She is thrilled to continue her work with the One World Foundation, where she can combine her passion for youth and education with her interest in human rights and international affairs.  She is a graduate of Barnard College, where she obtained her BA in Political Science and Human Rights Studies.
