Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Khema has lived in St. Croix most of her life. A member of the St. Croix Central High School Class of 1987, she earned her BA in Psychology at UMass Boston and her MA in Counseling Psychology at Boston College.
Meeting new and interesting people has always been a favorite pastime for Khema. She spent an entire year as a Sophomore in London, England with her mom’s teacher exchange program— her most memorable year ever! Khema considers herself a lifelong learner of all things inspiring. She attributes her bubbly social yet warm spirit to world travel, great music, and her love of people, especially children. Education is paramount. With more than twenty years in the field, Khema currently works as an elementary school guidance counselor. She also moonlights as a massage therapist, vocalist, and community catalyst. Her daughters, Leah and Lilah, are her pride and joy.
