Alisia Simmons

Hi, I’m Alisia—a scholar and practitioner at the intersection of international law, development policy & finance, data science, and communications with 4+ years of experience spanning the public and private sectors. Currently, I’m pursuing an M.Sc. in Human Rights Law and Data Science at the American University of Paris (Pre-Law), where I also serve as President of the Human Rights & Technology Think Tank. Alongside my professional path, I am a certified yoga teacher, sound healing practitioner, and ayurvedic wellness coach. As the Founder of Awaken & Move, I create accessible practices that cultivate health, self-discovery, and inner peace—bridging my passion for global change with holistic well-being. My mission is to weave holistic wellness into resilient well-being—where yoga and ayurveda become conscious practices of healing and empowerment that ripples outward into communities. At the heart of my work is a commitment to people-centered, environmentally conscious approaches to collective well-being, international law and development—driving transformative initiatives for a more just and equitable world.
