Personal Experience
I was born in London in 1971, into a multicultural family, and navigated from a very early age between cultures and languages. I am a balanced bilingual, with equal proficiency in both English and French, and have studied, lived and worked in three different countries (England, France and USA).
My multicultural family environment has given me first-hand experience of human diversity and the subtleties of the cultural differences that find expression through language.
