I was raised around the world in a U.S. military family (especially in Germany and France, where I attended local schools) , and, because of this upbringing, and family connections, I became fluent in several languages and came to love language work, learning and teaching, so after my service as a military linguist/intelligence specialist, I found my main career as a multilingual United Nations interpreter, working around the world with world leaders. Since retiring from the UN, I have taught world languages at schools, agencies and universities around the US, and continue to enjoy sharing my world language experience and skills , and helping others to succeed, as I did, by building and improving their language skills.
