​​I founded Culture Crossroads to integrate my expertise in both speech-language pathology and intercultural relations, which allows me to offer personalized accent training tailored to the specific needs of non-native English speakers.​​

​

As a trained speech-language pathologist, I am able to design and deliver effective accent training programs, applying my clinical knowledge in a non-clinical setting to help clients improve their communication skills.​​​​

​​

I've worked as a Foreign Student & Scholar Advisor, assisting international graduate and professional students, and their families from over 25 countries in diverse fields such as academia, business, law, healthcare, and medical research​, during my 15-year career as an intercultural relations professional.​​​​​​​​

​

I deeply understand what it takes to communicate effectively in a non-native language and culture. I've lived, worked, and studied abroad, supported students and colleagues as a speech therapist in a K-8 international school, and spent years working closely with international graduate students and professionals. These experiences help me connect with my clients on a personal level, allowing me to offer practical, tailored solutions to their communication challenges.​​
