About Me
Introduction:
It is my pleasure to share with you how I
can directly benefit your organization as an English Consultant. I am a fluent native
English speaker and a published award-winning nonfiction author. I hold a TESOL
certificate and have a background of continuing education from Harvard
University.
My business history is one of high profile real estate investment in Canada and
the United States and as such I have a noteworthy history as a public speaker,
writer and media personality on multiple National News programs such as CBC
News (broadcast TV), National Post (newspaper), CTV News (broadcast TV), Sun
New Network (broadcast TV), and Yahoo Finance.
In my consulting practice I have also hosted multiple seminars and business
workshops as well as shared the stage with many high profile individuals
including but not limited to the Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper, Jack
Welch CEO of General Electric, and Randi Zuckerberg CEO Zuckerberg Media and
sister of Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Among other accolades, I have received the
General Campaign Star from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for my service in
South West Asia and the Police and Community Award of Excellence for my work
with youth in Toronto, Canada.
In 2015/2016 I worked across Asia as a consultant
in Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand. Through my knowledge
of business and my command of the English language I look forward to being of
service to you and your staff and students.
