Our Founder & Executive Director
Dr. Mykim Tran is a humanistic psychologist. She began her career in 2010 as a speaker, motivating and inspiring youths to feel better about themselves. After Dr. Tran moved to the South Sacramento area to continue her work, she encountered a lot of low-income youths who were struggling with mental health and a lack of direction in life, which led to the founding of the Wake-Up Foundation in 2013. Dr. Tran also met many community advocates who encouraged her to start a non-profit to provide services for the community. Learning about the non-profit community, Dr. Tran seized the opportunity to become a leader for youths and social change. Dr. Tran believes anything is possible when you learn, apply, and grow daily.
