Who am I?

My CV is both technical and diverse. I graduated in 1985 from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Master of Architecture and Design and was licensed in 1988. My professional experience began in 1977 as a student of architecture, followed by responsible positions in Chicago with well-respected architectural firms until my relocation to Switzerland in 1989.  Until 1992 I was active in the international team of a Swiss architectural firm. Drawing from US know-how, I helped develop marketing strategies, prepare brochures and schematic design packages for potential clients.

As a student and during my years in architectural firms I was often called upon to use my people and communication skills for presentation, marketing documents and project management. Recognizing my interests in language and wanting to work closer to home, I began teaching business English in a private school in Switzerland in 1994.  Here I discovered and developed a market for qualified technical professionals to write, proofread, and prepare marketing and presentation documents.  In 2008 I began working in-house for various technical firms; instructing business English, assisting with marketing and other technical documents.

I continue to offer private tutoring at all levels for students, adults and professionals. 

Each project is unique and requires personal attention.  Please contact me to discuss how I can assist you.
