My over thirty years experience as a public relations specialist has given me a broad understanding of people and the importance of a client centered approach when working to achieve their goals and success. I have gained tremendous insight about human behavior from managing a chamber of commerce, running political election campaigns and helping numerous companies achieve their objectives. In addition, I have spent many years teaching English as a second language to foreign university students and provided them guidance with the many stresses associated with adapting to a new culture and language.
