Experience
As a clinical psychologist who grew up in West Africa, I have been involved in research, counseling and consulting with international organizations for almost three decades, helping me to understand and address the unique personal and career challenges people face both in North America and overseas.

Focus
One of my great joys is helping people identify how God has wired them and how they can best combine their interests, abilities, and personal style to guide them in making career choices. I especially delight in guiding those who grew up in international settings or who may currently be working overseas to discover how they can most effectively utilize their wide-ranging experiences and personal wiring to serve God in a wide variety of ways.

Strengths
In a gentle, compassionate and comprehensive way, I help individuals at each stage of development to identify and understand how they can best utilize their personal wiring to be most effective and fulfilled in college and career choices.

Clients
• High school students and their parents deciding on next steps, including those who are transitioning
from living in another country.
• College students choosing or changing majors.
• Adults in domestic and international settings, seeking more satisfying careers.

Statements & Testimonials
"I wish I had known about the Highlands Ability Battery when I was thinking about college. It would have given me much clearer direction and would have helped me choose a more satisfying career. Thank God I discovered it in my thirties. I am now working in a career that really fits me." – After growing up in Thailand and Malaysia, and working in the USA and Indonesia.
