  • Description

    I'm a retired teacher, spent the past 35 years teaching engineers and scientists how to design and deliver technical presentations as well as teaching people around the world how to talk to the media. I'm a media coach, a presentation coach, and a former English teacher.

    I've also spent a great deal of time in conflict areas in the Middle East as an activist, teaching English in Iraq, traveling to Syria and to Lebanon.

    I'm a whiz at social media, especially Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And I can teach WORD and Powerpoint plus help people put together grant proposals, having done that work when running my own successful consulting business, teaching engineers and scientists.

    I can paint a mural on walls (see photos), do carpentry work, paint interiors and sew curtains. I also ran a festival in Dublin, Ireland for a woman honoring WB Yeats

    I've also organized, set up accounts, managed and photographed for B&Bs for the past ten years. Currently, I'm in France running several B&Bs until April.

    While living in a village above Nice, France, I ran my own dog business, dog sitting for dozens of dogs over a four year period. My clients were sad to see me move into the city.

    I"m interested in spending the last 30 years of my life continuing to make a difference.
