About Me
Introduction:
I am a 44yo American with MBA, BA Japanese/Spanish (multicultural education) and 120hr TEFL. Over the past 21yr, I have lived in 7 countries, and worked officially 5 countries either by a career in investment banks or by English teaching institutions.
While the majority of my previous career has been with Citi (13.5yr) or Standard Chartered (1yr) in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia, I have also taught at Berlitz in Tokyo and Singapore (each part-time 1.5yr) and had the chance to teach at a Thai university for one term in Phuket as well as a one-month experience teaching in Saudi Arabia.
Given my age and incredible international exposure, I believe you will benefit from me as a truly unique asset to your organization.
