Founder
Life Skills LA was founded in May 2026 by Lidia Tilahun, MPH. Lidia earned her Master of Public Health degree from California State University, Long Beach and has over 15 years of experience managing youth development and health education programs in school, community, and clinical settings.
Throughout her academic and professional journey, she recognized that lasting success is shaped not only by knowledge, but also by key life skills. These include staying organized, managing responsibilities effectively, making informed decisions, solving problems, advocating for oneself, and adapting to change. These foundational skills influence how individuals learn, work, build relationships, and pursue their goals.
Driven by this insight, Lidia founded Life Skills LA to expand access to life skills education and empower individuals to reach their full potential and thrive.
