Born and raised in New Zealand, I have lived in Germany since 1999. My first career was in the theater which has given me a unique stance on communication in my work as a trainer. After studying sociology and law at an undergraduate level, I completed a Master of Science in Linguistics from Oxford University. I am a certified Trainer and Coach for Intercultural Competencies (Humboldt University’s artop Institute), a member of the Deutsche Verband for Coaching and Training e.V (dvct) and a member of staff at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. I have worked as a trainer and consultant for the Haufe Akademie since 2013. My knowledge of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques and research, linguistic subtleties, broad international experience (living and working in Australia, England, Singapore and Germany) as well as the years I have spent working with business clients in Germany, is of unique benefit to my clients.
