Vivian Tica

Vivian Tica is the Program Administrator of the PhD in Peace Studies program. She earned her BA in Psychology at Ateneo de Manila University. She took her MA in Social and Community Psychology at the same university and wrote a thesis on conflict resolution among rich and poor communities in Metro Manila. She took the Partners in Ministry program at IGSL and has been a faculty member since 2008. She also taught journalism and creative writing at Higher Ground Baptist Academy. Vivian has written more than 40 (maybe more) academic textbooks and trade books for children published by National Book Store, Anvil Publishing, Merryland Publishing, All Nations Publishing, and many more. Vivian loves singing gospel songs, listening to classical music, and reading devotionals. She is fascinated with historical fiction and creative non-fiction. Research and studies in psychology and education are some of the other readings she enjoys. She is married to Nimrod Tica, and the Lord has blessed them with four daughters—Caasi, Ivy, Pia, and Reigne.
