About Me

~ACADEMIC TRAINING:

Lanna Gerline Millien (also known as Gerline Millien) has a developped curiosity for medical/health sciences and has studied in the professional field of nutrition with a clinical focus on nutraceuticals/antioxydants[undergraduate thesis on Glutathione Peroxidase] and a praticum focus on international nutrition; mainly public health education strategies, food safety, rural food surveys and sustainable food interventions [Fundacion Instituto de Cooperacion al Desarollo, Quito, Ecuador].

~PROFESSIONAL CAREER:

Today, following the saying "perish or change", she tries to transform into a more conscious individual and is aspiring to be somewhere between being a human, a medical professional and a responsible corporate person with a hightened sensitivity to the environment. The more she learns about global warming, the more surprised she is about how lightly some seem to take this subject; which has now reached a crisis stage. She is seriously concerned about certain behaviors conducted at the detriment of the environment and how the environment in return has a negative impact on all creatures. She is particularly interested in how environmental toxicity can affect health via what humans eat; most specifically in relation to its effect on the foetus (pre-birth) and some possible forms of malignant growth tissue.

In relation to human health, she embraces the idea that combining preventive health strategies (keeping people as healthy as possible); with treating the root cause of illness in acute phases can be a winning strategy. While believing that there is not one way to health and the practice of medical professions, she is currently occupying a role within a medium size German natural/pharmaceutical company(naturally derived active ingredients.

Prior to this experience; as a primary care provider, she has been a Clinical Nutritionist in Pediatric Nutrition, Maternal Health and Immunology (HIV, AIDS, oncology). As a Nutritionist, she has also been a writer and has written articles aimed at the general public and has had the honour to very minimally contribute to Helene Laurendeau and Brigitte Coutu's bible on maternal health:~ "L'alimentation durant la grossesse".~

She has also worn various hats within some pharmaceutical organizations, and the nutraceutical/functionnal food sector; in Europe and America. She has completed mandates in roles demanding various levels of responsibility and skill sets such as Nutritional/Scientific Information Specialist and roles involving business development with targeted objectives and a fixed budget, customer relations, marketing, project management and acting as a facilitator when negotiating government public/private partnerships. ~This last mandate was completed within a corporate environment and the key responsibilities were to create partnerships with the public sector; exposing the conventional medical environment to complementary treatment approaches.~

~FURTHER TRAINING, INTERESTS AND BELIEFS:

Lanna Gerline completed a professional undergraduate degree at Universite de Montreal and is carefully considering finishing higher education; "one course at a time". While higher education is important in her eyes, she does not fully believe in intelligence being solely associated with higher education. She has a particular interest in global economy, global politics, sustainable health and a passion for female leadership strategies and the use of those strategies in implementing long lasting changes at home, in communities, in corporations, in politics and wherever possible in the world.

On a personal note, while she has been helped by many,she believes in self empowerment (power within), in the limitless capabilities of the human nature, she believes in extraordinary results with ordinary efforts and resources, she believes in the small, the quiet and the peaceful (la force tranquille)~ small not in terms of character but in terms of understanding that small changes can have a major impact; she believes in diversity and in keeping many languages alive in order to foster better communication and build bridges. She loves Africa and believes that the love of Mother Earth can generate miraculous results. She believes in cost efficiency.

We are whole; we are one; yet diverse. ONE LOVE.
