About Me

Most of my education has been acquired out of this country. I had the good fortune to be able to study and work in Guadalajara, Mexico. It brought me great joy to be able to experience the warmth and culture of this beautiful city. I studied psychology at the UNAM (Universidad Autonoma de Mexico).

I am currently trained as a Life Coach and have my practice.

Learning a foreign language is not only fun but a genuine way to make a human connection by experiencing another culture. Bringing the world together one student at a time or even a group of students at a time.
