She is a licensed Facilitator for Path4Teens through Laurie Beth Jones and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens with Franklin Covey. She has taught the leadership program in Cambodia and in Southern California. The Principle at Rongko high school, in Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia, commented that “Nancy Lee is the best Facilitator I have ever met in my career.” 

Nancy and her husband James Lee have built three school buildings in three provinces in Cambodia. They are also the founders of the Summit Foundation in Cambodia, which provides shelters for children from remote rural areas of Cambodia to attend a private school in Phnom Penh.
