Throughout her life she has worked in cross-cultural education, bringing awareness around issues of social justice. She is passionate about experiential education as a tool for personal and societal transformation. Xenia has worked organizing and leading short-term travel seminars to Central America with organizations such as The Council of Protestants Churches in Nicaragua (CEPAD), the Center for Global Education/Augsburg College, and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC). Currently she works as a medical interpreter at Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston.
