Dr. Archana Joshi is a Graduate Research Assistant pursuing her Master’s in Educational Foundations at UH Manoa. A facilitator and researcher, she taught young learners for 16 years at a constructionist school in Thailand—Darunsikkhalai School for Innovative Learning—and conducted cultural and soft skills trainings for corporates in India for 7 years. Passionate about education, Archana believes in building deep connections with learners, working shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, and supporting them at the very moment they seem to have missed a note. One of her most meaningful classroom projects, We Are One, introduced first graders to the idea that everything in the universe is interconnected—a theme that continues to shape her personal and professional journey.
