I am passionate about helping senior business professionals become their confident self while communicating in English with their international colleagues and clients.

I spent 20 years in the finance world before retraining as a Business English Trainer in 2010. I am the living example that a new, flourishing career can start in your mid-40s and that you’re never too old to learn new things.

I am half Sri Lankan/Malaysian, half Italian. I was born in London (by chance), grew up in Malaysia and Italy and have lived in the UK since 1985 (when I attended university). The next phase of my journey (fingers crossed) is emigrating, or should I say returning, to Italy to live by the sea!

My family is scattered around the globe – Malaysia, Italy and California (with links to Barbados) making the word “globe-trotting” truly meaningful to our family.

I am wife to an Englishman and aunt to five gorgeous nephews.

I am an ex-cancer sufferer who used her illness to turn her life and career around.

If I don’t have a book to read, I feel lost.

I go power walk 6 times a week.

I’ve been trying to start yoga and meditation for years but who knows… maybe my sixth decade (I am in my 50s) is the time I finally start and persevere).

I enjoy ironing and housework (I know….I am weird, but I find it mind-numbing which is a welcome distraction after work where my brain never stops ticking).

I love foreign cinema and grab any chance I can to go to the theatre. (Well, in these times of Covid watch plays on live streams.)

My mantra in life is live for today and seize every moment to learn and grow. We’re never too old to learn something new every day no matter how small. That’s what makes life so precious.

I can’t wait to see you there.
