In 2001, Tasha surprised friends and family by moving to the other side of the world. The 8 years she spent in S. Korea put her in the trenches of cross cultural communication in a way her previous Spanish studies and travels to Mexico and Spain had not. Her work teaching academic and professional English communication skills put her in touch with culturally diverse teaching teams in addition to the close contact with her students. The friendships she developed and the students she worked with gave her insights into the value of diversity of culture, personality, and thought. Since her return to the US, she has continued her intercultural work by providing professional development training in northern Virginia and Washington, DC. In 2014, she joined the John Maxwell Team.
