So, about me... I am a lifelong language learner who enjoys solving the mysteries of why people communicate the way they do in different langues and cultures. My fascination with multicultural communication started at a very early age, and in my teenage years, I remember being the only one in my neighborhood who was able to communicate with the workers when the Spanish-speaking circus came to town.

As an adult, I have lived and worked in various countries and have translated my passion for multi-cultural communication into a profession as a dedicated language coach and corporate communication skills trainer.

With nearly two decades' experience working one on one with business professionals to hone their communication skills, I have developed specialized coaching techniques and practical learning materials to help clients quickly improve their communication skills.

When I'm not busy working one on one with clients, I can be found haunting my local cafes or at my day job leading a team of HR professionals ensuring that the communication essential to our company's daily operations doesn't get lost in translation.
