Believe me! I've moved around since I was a child. I've lived in four countries at different stages of my life which is why I can relate to all stages of expatriation, and have a profound appreciation for different cultures and languages.

I found my way into this work at 18, almost by accident, subbing an ESL class, and I never looked back. Since then I've taught French, Spanish and English in High Schools, Community Colleges, and Language Centers in Mexico, the U.S., Canada, Ecuador and France. I earned a Master's in International & Intercultural Communication, and lived the exact confusion I now coach people through — Mexico, the U.S., Canada, and more than two decades in France. 

I've stood in the boulangerie with all the right words and none of the right instincts. I've carried that particular backpack of rocks — the embarrassment, the second-guessing, the "wait, did I really just say that?" — and I built this practice to help you set yours down faster than I did.
