To nurture that love, she decided to plant three of her favourite seeds into this world: a seed her dreams, a seed that belongs to the mother of nature and the seed that unintentionally founded in her attempt to build a social connection that based on three different kinds of empathy which are cognitive, emotion and compassion.

/ NANG /
when it is not just a noun for a man calling the woman that owns his heart…
It is Nang, who is not afraid of the sensitivity and softness hidden inside her soul.
It is not about the characters that are reflected in the eyes of people, whether she is a teenage girl or a delicate woman.
She loves herself and that matters the most.
a storyteller
It was an unexpected path when she never thought that one day she could confidently share her ideas and inspirations in front of many people. She still vividly remembers those first moments and even now, whenever she holds the microphone, she always reminds herself that: "I can do it."
Helly is an eternal inspirational speaker for thousands of young people for a series of non-profit, seminar workshops at universities to promote and talk around the topics that related to the sustainable developments of environment, society and human well-being.

“I’m just a small girl who carries big dreams" - Helly once thought.
​
This thought came to Helly's mind when she was doubting herself and realizing the path that leads to her dream was full of difficulties and limitations. However, with the love from where she was born, the luck that she has gathered from every destination she went by and the touches from soul to soul, she has started to believe that little changes can also make big differences.
​fun facts
Few people don't know that Helly's childhood was full of beautiful dreams. When she was young and naive, she has dreamed of becoming many different characters:
Passionate about beauty, she once dreamed of becoming a fashion designer.
Passionate of freely experiencing in different lands, she used to dream of becoming a flight attendant.
Because she wanted to be cared for and shared with love, she once dreamed that she could become a teacher.
Currently, she has and continues to be those ideals, though not in the way she used to think ...
People asked me a lot about how I looked like when I was a teenager, and I think this picture might showing you a bit of those time. I danced c-walk, riding a motorbike, always with oversize outfits, and looked like a tomboy. To me, I always believe that our life will be the richness of experience when we were in characters.
