I am an Inter-cultural Communication trainer & Global Career Coach. I have worked professionally at international corporations in Australia, Canada, China, Taiwan, the U.K., and am currently based in San Diego, California. I have worked with expats in C-suite & manager positions at Uniliver, Novartis, Roche, Crown Relocations, just to name a few.
