Our Team

Dr. Chung was born and raised in Austria into a multi-cultural family, as her parents are Chinese and Cambodian.  Growing up in a German-speaking country with Chinese and Cambodian parents fostered her natural linguistic talents — today Sophie speaks German, Cambodian, Chinese, English, French and Spanish.  After numerous conversations with Step Safe Director Craig McMahon, Sophie has officially joined the Step Safe team.

Sophie is a medical doctor and also has experience with a global management consultancy firm.

According to Sophie, "I have been excited and touched to see and experience people dedicated to building something so sophisticated and meaningful.  As a child of Cambodian refugees who made their way through the Pol Pot regime to Austria, it was a blessing for me to have the opportunity to visit the country where my roots lie and meet partner groups of Step Safe. Step Safe’s work has shown me that there are a lot of good people helping others help themselves, and that people are not left alone."
