I started my career in education because I wanted to live in Italy and earn money while I did so. I stayed for a while because I wanted to make a difference in the life possibilities of those who needed it.
I finished a doctorate in curriculum and instruction, but instead of going into academia, I decided to go into educational administration. Then later when I was working as an independent consultant, I interviewed successful independent language teachers and called the series Make A Leap.
