Her passion is to help people become more culturally agile, avoid miscommunicating, and strengthen inclusion in the global workplace.

As a US Peace Corps Volunteer in her mid-forties, she learned how Americans are generally viewed worldwide. She changed her delivery style to accommodate different cultural perspectives and learning styles so the students could thrive using the skills being taught, whether face-to-face or on virtual platforms.
