Portrait
| Born and raised in the USA, I have been living in Switzerland since 1980. I work in English, French, and German and understand Swiss German. My training was in political science (M.A., 1976), astrology (D.F.Astrol.S, 1984; professional member of the Swiss Astrology Society and fellow of the Association of Professional Astrologers International) and educational psychology (Dr. psych. 2008). I have taught English for adult speakers of other languages since the 1970s and astrology since 1981. |

My main occupation from 1989 on has been teaching English, until 2001 at the University of Lausanne’s language center and thereafter as a free-lancer. I am a part-time lecturer in academic English at the Language Center of the bilingual University of Fribourg-Freiburg and in scientific writing at the Center for Continuing Education at the University of Bern.
Out of interest in social and political questions and as continuing education for my astrology practice, I have co-led biography seminars. In addition, I have participated in seminars and a supervision group on Marshall Rosenberg’s non-violent communication and have co-led one-day seminars on relationships between women and men. These latter seminars are based on the collaborative communication model (www.earthstewards.org). Through the Earthstewards network, I have also closely followed the Compassionate Listening Project (www.compassionatelistening.org). This project concentrates on listening in especially difficult circumstances.
Because of my experience with gender questions, I am on the Swiss administration’s list of specialists for gender mainstreaming in language.
My dissertation for the University of Lausanne – The Dance of Learning: On Encounters in Adult Second-Language Learning - has recently been published (Peter Lang, 2009).
I relish life and its many highways and byways. When I encounter another on the way, I am happy to walk a while in their company.
