About Me

I am and English teacher, artist and mother of two teenage girls. My home and studio are here in St. Gallen where you can find me walking the hills or teaching with my big, friendly golden doodle, Yolo at my side . In 1995 I travelled to South East Asia where I met my Swiss husband. In 1998 I was using my communications degree, working in conflict resolution and mediation in my native home, Chicago. At the same time I was also selling my artwork at art festivals around the USA. The move to Switzerland in the year 2000 changed my life. I continued to sell my art, study mediation and began teaching English to children and adults. It's been over twenty years since I taught my first English class.Teaching English is a wonderful way to help people reach their goals and build relationships.
