Founder
Life Skills LA Learning Institute was founded in May 2026 by Lidia Tilahun, MPH. Lidia earned her Master of Public Health degree from California State University, Long Beach with professional experience working in youth development, college readiness, and health education programs in school, community, and clinical settings.
Throughout her academic and professional journey, she saw firsthand that lasting success is shaped not only by knowledge, but also by the ability to stay organized, manage responsibilities, advocate for oneself, and adapt to change. These foundational abilities influence how people learn, work, build relationships, and pursue their goals.
Inspired by this insight, Lidia founded Life Skills LA Learning Institute to expand access to life skills education and empower individuals to reach their potential and thrive.
