Growing up in a multicultural environment, I developed a passion for learning languages and have since been able to communicate with people from various parts of the world. Speaking multiple languages has not only enhanced my communication skills, but it has also given me a greater appreciation for different cultures and ways of thinking.
Speaking multiple languages has also been a valuable asset in my professional life. It has enabled me to communicate effectively with clients, colleagues, and business partners from diverse backgrounds, opening up new opportunities for collaboration and success. Additionally, being proficient in multiple languages has given me a competitive edge in today's global job market, making me a more desirable candidate for international assignments and cross-cultural teams.
Born in Canada, I learned English at a young age. This is my native language along with Swiss-German.
Swiss-German is second native language since my parents are Swiss. I also lived in Switzerland for 3 years.
I acquired fluency in Portuguese and used these skills extensively working in Brazil. I was able to effectively communicate and negotiate with suppliers and clients, enabling me to seal deals and manage projects.
I studied Spanish at university and was heavily immersed in Spanish language during my immersion in Mexico. I also used it professionally in Brazil.
I seriously started learning French while at University and it was during my work experiences in Brazil and in Canada that I was able to hone my skills.
I learned high-German while living in Switzerland and at university and used it extensively in work environments in Brazil and Switzerland.
