From the time I was in the 7th grade, I became fascinated with the multicultural world. I learned the countries and capitals of Eurasia, Middle East and Africa and could place them on a blank map.  At 22 years of age I founded Culture Advantage which started out as a preschool/latchkey program. This took place while simultaneously investing in real estate for 8 years prior to moving abroad. There I continued my business venture by starting my own language coaching company in Italy.  While living there for 3 years, continued my education at the Dante Alighieri Language school in Rome where I obtained a C2 certification in advanced Italian language.  Included in my 3 year residence, I worked as a  volunteer in support of the refugee and trafficking crisis. Afterwards,  I moved to the Middle East for an additional 3 years where I became literate in 2 more languages making a total of 5 to date. I gained experience teaching on a collegiate level, peer training, and creating the first EFL, Global Rounds Prep, for mentally gifted students in Araba. of Galilee.  This however was preceded by cleaning homes and offices for room and board despite my professional skills and background, in order to survive; experiencing bouts of homelessness while awaiting adequate residence status and the trials of language barriers.  Once I was able to function as a professional in the language of the land,  I was able to contribute to the society in a constructive way. Creating and translating scholastic materials, copy editing for medical journals and teaching at a local college just to name a few.  My love for people and personal experience as a foreign professional starting from scratch in another world is what has fueled my motivation to utilize my knowledge base and resources for the integration of the foreign professional here in the United States.  Let all contribute in the fullest capacity to our society.
