Born and raised in Australia, I have travelled and taught seminars all over the world. A professional member of National Speakers Association of USA, I am currently starting a Professional Speakers Association of Panama, where I now live. I have published several books on health, since I trained as a physical therapist. I also have a degree in Anthropology and Philosophy. I am very interested in languages and communication skills, hence my new book on Globish.
