I was born in Canada but have lived half my life outside my country. The early part of my career and the foundations of my teaching began as an English Teacher in Tokyo. Afterwards, in Germany, I worked as an associate professor teaching English at various private universities for their undergraduate programs (human resources, marketing, tourism, fashion design, journalism, and fashion design management).  I have also lectured on intercultural management, business psychology and fashion journalism. In 2010, my services expanded, including skills training, focusing on intercultural awareness, presenting to a global audience, and corporate communication with clients in the EU and Asia.

In the last four years, I have noticed a massive transition in the workplace. The shift to remote work has brought further challenges, as has working in cross-generational teams. Previously, soft skills were seen as ‘nice’ skills, but now, they are a must in every employee’s portfolio. To meet these new challenges in skills training, I have expanded my workshops into active listening, cross-generational teams, and online workshop facilitation.

All training is tailor-made virtually or in person for companies and organisations based in the EU and Asia.
