All of this has been a rich experience, and tremendous gift. During these travels, I have learned two languages (Bahasa Indonesia, and Mandarin), and applied my skills to a number of endeavors. Thankfully, I have left a positive impact on the places I have worked.
If my experience interests you, I would like to talk to you and your organization about how I might be able to bring value and experience, to drive positive outcomes for your Business, School, or NGO.
